Con Tsapkounis

A very short-stacked Con Tsapkounis has just been eliminated from the tournament by Jamie Pickering.

Tsapkounis put his last 14,000 into the middle before the flop and was called by both Pickering and James Kronos, who checked down the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

board.

When the cards were turned over, Pickering had the best of it with {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

. Tsapkounis produced pocket jacks, but they came second best and Kronos had only king high.

Tsapkounis will walk away with $10,346 in prize money for his efforts. Pickering and Kronos are now getting set to play heads up for the title.
