Briffard Chips Up in Blinds; Xanthopoulos Eliminated Soon After
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
It folded to Christos Xanthopoulos in the small blind, who raised to 60,000. Victor Briffard called in the big blind, and did so too when Xanthopoulos fired bets of 20,000 on the 4♦J♦8♦ flop and 50,000 on the 3♥ turn.
The 4♠ river slowed down Xanthopoulos as he checked it over to Briffard. Briffard put in nearly half his stack with a bet of 100,000, enough to make Xanthopoulos muck his cards and forfeit the pot
Xanthopoulos was left with about 25 big blinds, but he lost the rest of his stack not long after the hand as he was seen heading to the payout desk.
