Demetriou Eliminates an Opponent

Harry Demetriou
Harry Demetriou
A player in the cutoff position raised to 600 and Harry Demetriou made the call from the big blind.

On a flop of {5-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {9-Clubs} , Demetriou bet out for 400 and his opponent raised to 1,000. Demetriou reraised to 3,500 more and his opponent called.

On the turn, Demetriou moved all in, and his opponent called. Demetriou had his opponent covered. After tanking for a couple of minutes, Demetriou's opponent made the call.

Demetriou showed {7-Clubs} {8-Clubs} for a straight and with a draw to a flush. His opponent showed {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades} for a set of fives. The {7-Diamonds} on the river failed to pair the board, and Demetriou sends an opponent to the rail.

After the hand, Demetriou moved up to 58,600 in chips.
