Miltiadis Kyriakides, "I Have at Least One Ace"
Miltiadis Kyriakides won a WSOP Golden Ring early in the series in the PLO8 event, and has been one of the more entertaining players to watch. In that event, he had a prop bet where he won �1,000 which involved a coin-flip as to whether he needed to make the final table or win the tournament. Whether or not the prop bet provided extra motivated for Kyriakides, isn't known, but it is apparent he likes to have fun on the tables.
While receiving a massage, he announced, "I am going to play a pot. I always play from the big blind." The action folded around to Johnny Hansen in the small blind. The Greek proclaimed without looking at his cards, "Everyone folded, I have at least one ace."
Hansen keeps to himself, but appeared to be undeterred. He raised the action preflop which Kyriakides calls after taking a look at his cards for the first time. The flop came 
and Hansen fired a bet for 26,000 which Kyriakides quickly called. Both players checked on the turn of 
. Hansen checked again when 
comes, however, Kyriakides fired out a bet for 200,000 which Hansen called.
Kyriakides turns over 
for the full house and Hansen mucks his hand.
