Theologis Eyes WPT Title After WSOP Bracelet Success
A week ago, Alexandros Theologis took down his first WSOP bracelet in Event #21: $25,000 Super High Roller Championship for a cool $1.2 million. Now the Greek player has his eyes on a WPT title after making the final table of the WPT500 Knockout on partypoker.
Theologis starts the final table second in chips behind Russia's Arseniy Malinov, with both players sitting on over 200 million in chips.
However, the final table features other well-known players, including Alexandru Baron who was the chip leader after Day 1a of the WPT Mini Main Event and former Poker Masters champion Alexandros Kolonias.
