Introduction
Alexandros Karnaos is a professional poker player who has competed in major live tournaments, including the World Series of Poker and Foxwoods events. While limited public information exists, his recorded hands highlight his ability to make disciplined decisions under pressure.
World Series of Poker Performance
At the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event, Karnaos reached Day 5 among 6,865 entrants. In a notable hand, he was on the button with about 450,000 chips when the flop came . Matthew Wantman led out from the small blind, Karnaos raised, and Wantman moved all-in. After tanking, Karnaos folded, only to see Wantman flip over . This hand demonstrates his willingness to fold a strong-looking hand when facing an all-in from a larger stack.
Other Live Tournament Results
In a Foxwoods Poker $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em event (Event #16), Alexander Karnaos (alternate spelling) was active on Day 2. At level 13 (blinds 1,000/2,000, ante 300), he moved all-in from the small blind for 15,100 with J♦J♣ against the button's A♥7♦. The board ran out 10♥4♥2♠2♣K♥, and Karnaos doubled to 34,600. The tournament had 203 entries, with 47 players remaining at that point.
Playing Style
Based on the two available hands, Karnaos appears to play a TAG (Tight-Aggressive) style. He is willing to raise and re-raise but makes disciplined folds when out of position against an all-in. His use of an all-in move with jacks shows he can commit his stack when holding a premium hand.
Legacy and Activity
Alexandros Karnaos has been recorded in poker databases for results in the early 2010s, but his recent activity is unclear. His participation in high-profile events like the WSOP Main Event and mid-stakes tournaments suggests a solid professional career.
