Georgios Sotiropoulos (in a previous event)

Georgios Sotiropoulos has been grinding his short stack and has improved his stack significantly from where he started the day.

Just now he was in a hand on the turn, in which he was playing out of the small blind and he bet 5,000 into a pot with {6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} on show. Ian Johns was the one with a decision to make and after checking his cards again a couple of times, he decided it was best to let it go.

The very next hand, Sotiropoulos opened blind v blind and met with no opposition to add a little more chips to his stack.
