Athanasios Polychronopoulos - 5th Place
Athanasios Polychronopoulos - 5th Place

Athanasios Polychronopoulos got all of his short stack all in before the flop and was racing against Antonio Esfandiari.

Esfandiari: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Polychronopoulos: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The board fell {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Polychronopoulos was unable to catch a pair. Esfandiari held and was able to win the pot and take us into four-handed play.
