Kiriopoulos Doubles Up in Timely Fashion
Level 28
: 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Marvin Rettenmaier opened to 2.2 million from early position and Demosthenes Kiriopoulos was on his left. With 37 players remaining, the next elimination would be a $5,000 pay jump. Kiriopoulos was on the short stack and used up two of his time extensions before re-raising to 4.0 million. The action folded back to Rettenmaier who shoved all in and Kiriopoulos tanked again before putting the rest of his 7.2 million chips in the middle.
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: 
Marvin Rettenmaier: 
The flop came 
and Rettenmaier was still ahead with a pair of nines. The 
on the turn gave Kiriopoulos a straight draw and the 
on the river completed it for him. Kiriopoulos scored a double up to move off the short stack before the next pay jump.
