Burneikis in the Mood to Gamble Against Alexandridis
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Vladas Burneikis raised to 24,000 in early position and Georgios Mylonas called in the cutoff. Symeon Alexandridis then moved all in for 120,000 on the button and Burneikis called. Mylonas, meanwhile, used a few time banks but eventually decided to fold, leaving Alexandridis heads-up against Burneikis with his tournament life on the line.
Symeon Alexandridis: K♦J♦ 
Vladas Burneikis: J♠6♠
"Let's gamble," Burneikis said after the cards were revealed. The board ran out 10♣7♣3♥K♣8♣ and Alexandridis' pair of kings were good enough for him to earn a double up.
