Mavritsakis Lost as Docherty Overbets River

Frank Visser

Level 40 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Panagiotis Mavritsakis limped in from the button and David Docherty checked his big blind.

The flop came down and Mavritsakis bet the minimum of 1,000,000 after a check from Docherty. Docherty quickly called before both players knuckled the table on the turn.

The river was the and it saw Docherty take the betting lead with a bet of 7,500,000, one and a half times the pot.

This sent Mavritsakis into a minutes-long tank where he searched for answers for the present and perhaps many more of life's questions.

Eventually, he decided his hand was not worth a call and he surrendered the pot to Docherty.

Mavritsakis Doubles After Stack Dwindled

Frank Visser

Level 39 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

The blinds and antes are starting to get higher, and with four people left players have to put them in quite often. This caused Panagiotis Mavritsakis' stack to diminish to just 5,100,00. Declan Rice was in the small blind and put enough to cover that amount in the middle when Mavritsakis was in the big blind. Mavritsakis let out a sigh before he made the call.

Panagiotis Mavritsakis:
Declan Rice:

Mavritsakis flopped trips on the flop, leaving Rice dead to a runner-runner runout. The turn gave him a chance to his one of those runouts in the way of a backdoor flush draw.
