Polychronopoulos Sends One Home

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

It's only been 4 days since Athanasios Polychronopoulos won his second bracelet in Event #17: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em, and he's already got his sights set on another one here today as he is accumulating a decent amount of chips.

Action in a recent hand began with Konstantin Puchkov opening to 750. He got one call before Polychronopoulos raised to 2150 from the small blind. The player in the big blind moved all in for only a bit more. Puchkov folded, and did the first caller after some thought. Polychronopoulos called and it was off to a showdown.

Polychronopoulos: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Big Blind: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {3-}{q-}{K-}{8-}{10-} giving Polychronopoulos the winning set and the decently sized pot.
