The Polychronopoulos Defense
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Eric Wasserson opened with a raise to 1,800 from middle position and he was called by Athanasios Polychronopoulos who defended from the big blind.
On the 
flop both players checked to see the 
on the turn. Polychronopoulos checked again, but this time Wasserson bet 2,000. Polychronopoulos called.
On the 
river both players checked it down. Polychronopoulos showed 
for a flush and Wasserson held on to his cards a bit before mucking. That allowed Polychronopoulos to take down the small pot.
Both players are sporting healthy stacks with Wasserson holding one of the largest in the room.
