Savvas Loses All His Chips

Savvas Ioannou opened to 3,000, and Andrew Demetriou matched the bet, coming along to the flop.

It showed up {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts}. Ioannou continued out with 6,000 chiips, and Demetriou moved all in, having his man covered. Ioannou had 25,000 chips left, and they all went into the middle.

Showdown:
Ioannou: {10-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}
Demetriou: {7-Clubs} {9-Clubs}

Andrew Demetriou had flopped the straight, but Ioannou still had two chances to catch up. He had a straight-flush draw and runner-runner outs as well. The turn helped his cause, as the {10-Clubs} was one of those runner-runner outs. Unfortunately for him, the river blanked off, and he shipped all of his chips over to his opponent. Ioannou exits, while Demetriou is up to 77,000.
