Stavrakis Surrenders Some Chips
Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dan Samson and Edouardos Stavrakis were heads up on a turn of 8?Q?7?6?, with 26,500 chips already in the pot. Samson checked from the hijack and Stavrakis followed suit on the button.
The 7? river then completed the board and saw Samson make a bet of 12,000. Stavrakis quickly flicked in a call and Samson tabled 9?5? for a straight.
Thinking he had won, Stavrakis flipped over his A?10?, but he quickly saw that the pot was shipped to Samson. Meanwhile, defending champion David Docherty is also at this table and has doubled his starting stack.
