Despite earlier reports that our most recent ParadisePoker Tour winner was out, Christos Xanthopoulos is still in the Vienna Main Event… just.
The Greek player came into Day 2 with just over 20,000 chips, just half the average, so he always had a tough assignment in keeping hopes of a first back-to-back PPT win alive.
And with a flurry of hands that have gone against him, Christos is almost down to a chip and chair.
First up was a mistimed bet that saw his opponent check-raise all in on a J♣A♣Q♠ flop and force him to fold with just 17,500 chips behind.
Things rapidly got worse as a three-bet shove out the majority of his stack at risk against an early postion raiser with A&diamsJ♦, and even his AK couldn’t hold up as a J cruelly hit the river.
A quick double up with Q♣7♣ ensured he survived to the first break at least, but surely only an incredible comeback can change his destiny now.
