Xanthopoulos Takes A 3-Way Pot
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Pavlos Xanthopoulos opened from middle position to 2,200, and was called by Samy Dubonnet on the button and Ignacio Moron in the big blind.
On the flop J♦A♠2♠, Xanthopoulos made a continuation bet of 2,500. But Dubonnet raised to 8,000. Moron check-called this amount, as did Xanthopoulos.
The turn was the 4♦. Moron and Xanthopoulos checked to Dubonnet, who also checked. After the river K♠, all three players checked again.
The first player to show his cards, Moron, revealed A♣10♠ for a pair of aces. However, it wasn't enough as Xanthopoulos revealed A♦K♦ for two pairs, the winning hand.
