Event 21: Jimmy The Greek

$200 + $30 + $50 Double Green Chip Bounty Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Blinds Up!

Level 8:  Blinds 400/800 with 75 ante.  This is the last 20-minute level.

Demetrios Georgous (Washington Heights, NY) is in the field today.  "Just call me Jimmy the Greek" he says.  He's cashed several times here at Borgata, including a couple of final tables, but is still looking for his first title.

 Demetrios Georgous

"I started gambling when I was 8 years old, playing in my parents Stud games at home" that's why they call him Jimmy the Greek.  "I was born on the day of Super Bowl #1" he says.  That makes him a Capricorn and forty-something years old.

Last summer, Demetrios told me an hour into event 18 that he was going to win that tournament.  Well, he didn't, so I guess you can't believe everything he says (like most gamblers).

That event was won by Adam Agaev (Brooklyn, NY) who picked up $28,026 for his victory.
