Pappas Era in Poker Cruelly Ended Before It Began

It would have been too good to come true - the lone amateur at the WSOP 2014 Main Event final table had captured the imagination of fans and mainstream media alike. Many believed a surprise victory by Pappas could have ushered in a new booming era in poker. And even though we are all sad to see him go, @William Pappaconstantinou is sure to be a great source of inspiration for a long time to come!

The call that left him with 50,000 in chips but with $2,143,174 in 5th place prize money after the flop came Q♠ 6♣ 5♦

I too have been faced with multi on the fly desitions like that. Ran in the Borgata open 2004 (yes long time ago) but i remember the hand that bumped me ... The Air was Clear... the Time was right... the blinds where going up and i was riding the waves. Looking down at pocket Jacks in the BB was great... Rasied and got 1 caller... off the button BUTTON folds... FLOP Comes 6♥ 9♠ J♥ Wonderfull Looks Like a Quick Double Up outta Position from a In the Position Caller... I bet Not just any Met ALL-IN Bet...This Guy Takes Down His Hoody and Say's... I KNEW IT (AJ) Isnt It.. and SNAP calls Me With K♣ K♠ ... As You Know Him In ooo's and ahhh's Complaints and all... Turn Was A♠ Then The River Gods Kill Me With K♦ So Yes... I DO know what it feels Like to make the best hand and Lose DO KNOW why Pappas Called and i Do know The Feeling Of Being Out of Reach For a Serious Amount Of Money.
