Pavlou's Middle Pair Holds

We join the action on the flop in a pot between Brian Greig and Harris Pavlou. The board showed {9-Clubs} {J-Spades} {8-Spades}, and Greig led out with a bet of 15,000. Pavlou then moved all in having his opponent well-covered. Grieg made the call, and he was at risk for his tournament life.

Showdown:
Greig: {Q-Spades} {6-Spades}
Pavlou: {9-Hearts} {10-Hearts}

Grieg was behind, but he had both a flush draw and a straight draw. The turn was the {6-Diamonds}, and another blank, the {J-Clubs}, hit the river. Greig failed to catch any of his outs, and he was eliminated. Harris Pavlou has worked his way up to 335,000.
