Nektarios Papadedes Eliminated in 10th Place ($3,450 CAD)

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Nektarios Papade
Nektarios Papade

Nektarios Papadedes had opened from early position and Paul Nakhle had called from the big blind. Nakhle then check-called bets from Papadedes on the flop and turn leading to a final runout of Q?2?2?8?9?. Nakhle lead out with a bet that was called by Papadedes.

Papadedes had K?K? for kings up but Nakhle had Q?6? for a rivered flush to take the pot and leave Papadedes with just a few big blinds.

Papadedes would get the rest of his stack in preflop a few hands later against Stuart Taylor.

Nektarios Papadedes: 8?6? All in
Stuart Taylor: A?5?

The board ran out 10?J?2?K?K?. Taylor's ace-high was good at showdown and he took the last of Papadedes' chips.
