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.

Both players checked the {3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop. Farmakis bet 6,300 after the {3-Clubs} came on the turn and Pavlov called. Farmakis led out for 7,000 after the {3-Clubs} paired the board on the river. Pavlov tanked for two minutes before he called.

Farmakis turned over {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, which was good enough with Pavlov tossing his hand into the muck.
