It's All Greek To Me

Toronto, Canada's Alex Avdelopoulos just took most of Art Demmerley's chips in a what can only be considered a set-over-set debacle for Demmerley.

Demmerley flopped a set of sixes against Avdelopoulos' pocket queens. However, a queen on the turn set things right for Avdelopoulos and he ultimately dragged the 120,000-chip pot to join the group at the top of the leaderboard. Demmerley was left with crumbs.

Also ascending to a spot near the top of the counts is one Blake Napierala. He's doing the usual Napierala thing. Winning flips, pulling in 45,000-chip pots with aces, and generally running like only he can.

Napierala is now sitting on 110,000 and making plans to bag big.
