Sinclair Doubles Through Kambouroglou

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Antonis "Toothpick Tony" Kambouroglou was called back to his seat as he had not been eliminated, but rather still had 500 chips remaining after a clash with Sandy Sinclair.

Kambouroglou had been all in with {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for an open-ended straight draw on the {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop while Sinclair turned over {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for the superior pocket pair. The {5-Diamonds} turn and the {8-Clubs} river were blanks and Sinclair received a full double.

One hand later, Kambouroglou was all in with the {j-Spades}{9-Spades} and picked up one caller. Tolly Sakellariou reraised to isolate with the {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and saw the board run out {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

The same table also features Robert Spano, who has bought back in for the second bullet.
