Simonyan Unafraid

Arthur Simonyan moved all in first into the pot from the cutoff seat. His total was 114,000, which we learned after small blind Michael Meyburg asked for a count. He would eventually pass though, but the big-stacked big blind, Max Lykov, quickly made the call with {A-Spades}

. Simonyan was pleased with the good news as he showed up {A-Hearts}

, ahead in the hand but at risk for his tournament life.

The board would run out safe for him, coming {6-Hearts}

. That notched him a big double up at the most crucial of times, moving him to 254,000 and out of the position of shortest stack at the table.

On the next hand, Simonyan would move all in once again after an opening raise from Ad Schaap. When Schaap laid his hand down, Simonyan raked in even more chips to climb to about 330,000.
