Tournament Deciding Flip Between The Greeks

Level 40: 500,000/1,000,000 (1,000,000)
Entries: 3/2045

Theodoros Ampelikiotis opened the action to 2 million on the button and was met with a hefty 3-bet to 7 million from fellow Greek Nikolaos Konstas in the small blind. After some deliberation, Theodoros decided to go all-in for 26.8 million, and Konstas quickly called.

  • Theodoros Ampelikiotis: JJ
  • Nikolaos Konstas: AK

It was a classic flip for a massive chip lead, with Theodoros at risk. The board ran out a low 93286, holding up his pocket jacks and securing a monumental double-up! With this win, Theodoros has regained the chip lead as the battle intensifies.

We caught Theodoros eating some nuts after he won the hand and made a funny picture of him with his mouth full xD

Nikolaos Konstas – 26,000,0000
Theodoros Ampelikiotis – 54,000,000
