One week ago, Greece was a country without a World Series of Poker bracelet. Now it's a country laying claim to two.
Greece's Pavlos Xanthopoulos took down the 2015 WSOP Europe Event #6: €3,250 No-Limit Hold’em Friday night in Berlin, Germany, collecting €182,510 and the most coveted prize in all of poker - a WSOP gold bracelet.
"I am super excited," Xanthopoulos told PokerNews. "This is my first big tournament win."
The win comes less than a week removed from Greek native turned German restaurant owner Makarios Avramidis' victory in Event #1: €2,200 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em at 2015 WSOP Europe, claiming Greece's first-ever piece of WSOP hardware.
