Polychronopoulos Lays Down Ace-Queen, Gets a Lecture
Athanasios Polychronopoulos opened to 10,000 in early position and the player on the button moved all-in for around 100,000.
"Alright my friends, it's been fun. I'm all-in," he announced before pushing his stack to the middle.
The action folded back to Polychronopoulos, who thought through his decision as his opponent chatted with Freddy Deeb from a few tables over.
"Are you all-in?" Deeb asked his friend.
"Yep," the player told Deeb.
Polychronopoulos took a minute or so before folding ace-queen offsuit face-up on the table. The opponent showed ![]()
and expressed bewilderment over what Polychronopoulos was considering calling with.
"My friend, what are you even thinking about?!" he said. "That's an instant fold. It's not even suited."
"I had a big hand," shrugged Polychronopoulos.
"Not in my book," the opponent countered.
