Pavlos Xanthopoulos
Pavlos Xanthopoulos

Pavlos Xanthopoulos was heads-up from early position against Younes Hammouchi in the big blind on a board of 7?7?3?4?. Hammouchi checked to Xanthopoulos, who bet 33,000. Hammouchi then check-raised to 89,000 and Xanthopoulos called.

The 2? completed the board and Hammouchi announced he was all in for 123,000 total. Xanthopoulos went deep into the tank as many of the remaining players surrounded the table.

After several minutes, Xanthopoulos committed a call and Hammouchi nodded his head in acknowledgment as he turned over K?9? for a stone bluff. Xanthopoulos revealed 6?6? for sevens-up to scoop the pot and burst the Day 2 bubble.
