Panayotis Flourentzou Flourishes

Matthew

In a series of successive hands Panayotis Flourentzou went from about 25,000 to over 160,000. In the first hand, holding pocket aces he busted an opponent who had pocket kings.

The next hand Panayotis Flourentzou raised from the cut off, and the big blind flat called. The flop was {k-Spades}

{k-Spades}

{q-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

and the players got all the money into the middle, Flourentzou held the {k-Diamonds}

{k-Diamonds}

{k-Hearts}

which out flopped his opponents {a-Diamonds}

{a-Diamonds}

{a-Spades}

. The

{4-Clubs}

turn, and the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

river would seal the deal for Flourentzou.

Less than an orbit later Flourentzou busted another on an {a-Hearts}

{a-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

flop holding {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

. His opponent's {a-Diamonds}

{a-Diamonds}

{k-Clubs}

would need serious help, which would not come with the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

turn, and the {a-Clubs}

{a-Clubs}

river.
