Top Pair Good for Christodoulou

Reza Vakili started with a raise to 1,100. He got action from Michael Christodoulou, and the two men went heads up to the flop.

It brought {7-Spades} {3-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}. Christodoulou checked, and Vakili bet 3,500. The checker then check-raised all in for a total of 8,125, which Vakili called.

Showdown:
Christodoulou: {6-Spades} {7-Clubs}
Vakili: {A-Hearts} {4-Spades}

The turn was the {4-Hearts}, giving Vakili a few more outs. The river was a blank {8-Hearts} though, and it's Christodoulou who takes down the pot, doubling his way to 19,000 chips. Vakili has been chopped down to 25,000.
