Xanthopoulos Finds a Double
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Pavlos Xanthopoulos shoved for his final 210,000 from early position and was called by Malo Latinois from the hijack to be at risk.
Pavlos Xanthopoulos: K♥J♥
Malo Latinois: A♦Q♣
Xanthopoulos needed help, and it came on the flop when it fanned out 7♣K♦J♣ to give Xanthopoulos top two pair. Latinois was not down and out, as a ten would give him a straight to take the lead.
The ten never came on the 8♣ turn or the 3♦ river to award the double-up to Xanthopoulos.
