Chatzopoulos Runs Out of Luck with King-Queen
Apostolos Chatzopoulos found himself in a downward spiral, starting with a massive pot loss to Dennis Krusch.
With the board showing 5?6?9?5?J? and around 450,000 already in the pot, Krusch bet 250,000. Chatzopoulos responded by shoving all-in for roughly 700,000. Krusch agonized over the decision, knowing that calling would put him at risk. After a long deliberation, he made the call. Chatzopoulos revealed K?Q?, bluffing, while Krusch showed K?J?, winning the hand with two pair��jacks and fives.
In the very next hand, Chatzopoulos was left with just 135,000 in the big blind. Patrick Bueno, sitting in middle position, raised to 80,000, and Chatzopoulos went all-in. Bueno snap-called.
Apostolos Chatzopoulos: 7?5?
Patrick Bueno: K?Q?
This time, it was Bueno��s turn to hold K?Q?, and the board ran out A?K?4?10?J?. Chatzopoulos couldn��t find the miracle he needed, and with that, his tournament run came to an abrupt end.
