Stanford Can't get a Fold from Sotiropoulos
Georgios Sotiropoulos opened to 80,000 from under the gun and received calls from Omar Lakhdari on the button and William Stanford in the big blind.
The flop came 3♣3♥4♥. Stanford checked and Sotiropoulos made a continuation bet of 90,000, receiving calls from both opponents.
Sotiropoulos fired again when checked to on the 4♣ turn, this time for 170,000. Lakhdari got out of the way before Stanford raised to 700,000, enough to put Sotiropoulos all in.
Sotiropoulos made the call to put himself at risk.
Georgios Sotiropoulos: A♠A♦
William Stanford: 8♥7♥
Sotiropoulos just had to fade a non-ace heart to secure the double. He did just that on the 2♣ river and was awarded a bit over a full double up.
"I knew you had an overpair. I thought I could get you to fold" Stanford told you his opponent after the hand.
