Demosthenes Kiriopoulos is an accomplished player from Toronto that frequently finds his way deep into tournaments here at Playground Poker Club, and while a big win continues to elude him, his 6th place exit just now represents his biggest cash to date and almost doubles his lifetime earnings!
Demo had been short for some time, and having already laddered up a few spots today, he was in the mood to get his 8bb stack into the center of the table with his tournament on the line. And so he pushed, holding 
from utg – only to find mega-chip-leader Taylor Black holding 
in the cutoff – and happy to use those to try and take out another player in the tourney.
The flop: 
– but Taylor blocked most of Demo’s straight draws with his two fives. The 
and 
on the turn and river were no help, and Demo was out in 6th.
6th place: Demosthenes Kiriopoulos, $400,000
