Maria Lampropulos Eliminated in 10th Place (€6,325)

Sava Krink

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Maria Lampropulos, sitting in the cutoff, decided to make her move by raising to 400,000, leaving herself with just 50,000 behind. Rachid El Yaacoubi, positioned on the button, didn’t take long to respond, pushing the action with a hefty raise to 2,000,000. With the pressure mounting, all eyes were on Lampropulos as she took a moment to think things over. After a tense tank, she ultimately made the call.

As the cards were revealed, Lampropulos showed A?10?, hoping for a miracle, while El Yaacoubi flipped over 8?8?, revealing he was holding a pocket pair. The flop came down Q?Q?3?2?4?, and unfortunately for Lampropulos, the board didn’t provide any improvement to her hand. With no help from the board, she was eliminated from the tournament, finishing as the last woman standing.
