Orfanidou Eliminates Farmakis
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Two players are already out at around the same time. One of them was Georgios Farmakis who was on the losing end of two early hands.
In a recent hand, Farmakis jammed for more than 10,000 over a bet from Orfanidou into a bloated pot with the 
on the board. Orfanidou made the snap-call.
Farmakis turned over 
and was an early elimination after Orfanidou turned over 
for a full house.
Marian Ivanov sent Momchil Vutev early on the other table.
We could see both players back in today or one of the other opening flights as the tournament features unlimited re-entries during each flight until the end of Level 10.
