Giannakopoulos Rises in the Ranks

Christian Zetzsche

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.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On the heads-up flop oif A♥8♠4♦, David Ng bet 2,800 and was called by Huawei Sun. They got another 4,000 in after the 4♥ turn before the 3♦ river was checked. Ng showed the A♠J♦ and won the pot.

One table over, Ricky Toker was talking to his dad Brett Toker who had come from a severe short stack above the average. In the meanwhile, his monster stack was gone after he lost them all in two big hands. The final hand saw his superior pocket pair cracked by pocket sevens with one player mentioning they had folded a seven.

On the J♦6♦4♦3♣ turn, Gordon Padayachee had not acted yet when Brad Simpson bet 16,200 out of turn. Padayachee then pushed all-in and the floor was called to clarify the action. Simpson forfeited his bet and folded to the shove, as the rich got richer.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

One of the local players by the name of Ash got it in after the J♥10♠5♣ flop only to get looked up by SM. They had the Q♠J♦ for top pair and were also in the ongoing flip for another seat at the same time. SM was way out in front with K♣K♥ and nothing changed with the 10♥ turn or 9♦ river.

The flip was not a success either as Harold Brooks was the winner in that.

Jarred Solomon had been eliminated, too, and couldn't bink the flip for a bargain entry either.

"This is for the dust spin," Ebrahim declared and was behind with K♠9♠ versus A♠8♠.
