Fotiadis Knocked Way Down, but Fights To Stay Alive
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Stud-8
| George Fotiadis | ( ) /     / () |
| Kristopher Tong | (  ) /     / ( ) |
George Fotiadis check-called on fourth street before calling bets from Kristopher Tong on fifth, sixth and seventh street. Tong had trip deuces and scooped the entire pot against Fotiadis, who mucked his hand.
That pot left Fotiadis with just 7,000 in chips, but he was able to chop the next hand of stud-8 by making a low against Matthew Ashton's two pair to get some chips back. He then chopped the next hand in Omaha-8 with three queens against Mike Gorodinsky's nut low, giving him a little bit more life, but not much.
