Giannakopoulos Rises in the Ranks
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Panayiotis Giannakopoulos first doubled with 10♥3♥ against the A♦Q♥ of Dhinesh Soopramanien when he got there on the 9♦9♥3♣J♣6♠ board.
He then knocked out Nic Ioannoy who got it in with A♣Q♠ on the K♠7♥4♣8♠Q♥ board. Giannakopoulos was just waiting for that move as he had turned a straight with the 6♣5♣.
"I know how to build the stack, now I just have to keep it," Giannakopoulos said.
