Team Greece Eliminated

Oh, the agony for Team Greece. Widely perceived as the underdog team in this tournament, the Greeks played with heart, skill and guile to make it all the way o the tournament bubble. There, with blinds high and stacks short, the Greeks ran into an unlucky situation. They moved all in with {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts} and were called by Team Brazil, which tabled a pair one pip better, {10-Hearts} {10-Spades}.

Nothing comes easy in poker, so of course the flop was all clubs, {4-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {7-Clubs}. The Greeks, behind in the hand, had the only club. They'd need a club to hit to stay alive, but the turn and river came {A-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}.

The bubble has finally burst. Greece finishes in third place, just outside the bubble.
