Markakis Wins Battle of the Greeks

Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
It was all action preflop as Eleftherios Papangelis opened to 6,500 from the cutoff and saw the button call. Konstantinos Markakis then raised in the small blind to 22,000. The big blind quickly got out of the way, before Papangelis called and the button also folded - taking it two ways to the flop.
The flop came 2?8?10?, and saw both players check.
A Q? turn sparked more action, as Markakis check-called a bet of 22,000 from Papangelis.
Both players checked it on the Q? river and it went to showdown. Papangelis showed the A?K?, while Markakis took the pot, tabling a pair of nines.
