Andreas another blind battle victim as he exits in 8th

The pace shows no sign of slowing at the ParadisePoker Tour final table, as Andreas Chalkiadakis lost out to fellow Greek Christos Xanthopoulous.

Christos has been a cautious chip leader, showing none of the raw aggression we saw in Vilamoura and Sunny Beach from the likes of Rene Knapp and Aske Muff respectively.

Both those players lost big advantages and the chance to seal a PPT title, so perhaps Xanthopoulous has decided a different strategy is in order.

It was the more passive approach that lured his compatriot into shoving from the big blind, as the big stack limped in the small blind with A3 and thought hard before making the call.

The play put Chalkiadakis (pictured) at risk with Q8o and his need for some good fortune failed to materialise, leaving him to collect his £5,120 reward.
