Georgios Efthymiadis
Georgios Efthymiadis

Christina Orfanidou bet 16,000 into a pot of a bit more after the {7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} came on the flop. Georgios Efthymiadis splashed all his chips in the middle and stood up.

Orfanidou made the quick call and turned over {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for trips while Efthymiadis turned over {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a flush draw.

It wasn't looking good for Efthymiadis to survive after the {5-Spades} came on the turn. However, the {10-Diamonds} completed the board on the river to give him the flush and take a dent out of Orfanidou's stack.
