Xanthopoulos Makes Strong Start
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Pavlos Xanthopoulos, who was second in chips at the beginning of the day, made a strong start already on Day 3.
He limped in from the small blind and Henri Kasper in the big blind checked it to see a flop.
It came 3?5?A? and the Greek led out for 50,000. He was called with Kasper having 370,000 behind.
Both shut down as the A? landed on the turn.
The 10? river also prompted no further action. Xanthopoulos tabled J?3? to take the pot as his Estonian opponent mucked his hand.
