Xanthopoulos Makes Strong Start
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Pavlos Xanthopoulos, who was second in chips at the beginning of the day, made a strong start already on Day 3.
He limped in from the small blind and Henri Kasper in the big blind checked it to see a flop.
It came 3♣5♦A♥ and the Greek led out for 50,000. He was called with Kasper having 370,000 behind.
Both shut down as the A♦ landed on the turn.
The 10♥ river also prompted no further action. Xanthopoulos tabled J♦3♠ to take the pot as his Estonian opponent mucked his hand.
