Panyak Busts Bou Habib to Join the Chip Leaders

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Maxim Panyak
Maxim Panyak

In a hand between Andrei Boghean and Walid Bou Habib, the latter three-bet the former to 12,500 and both peeled a flop. The {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop went check-check, Boghean bet 19,000 on the {7-Spades} turn and Bou Habib called. On the {5-Spades} river, Boghean shoved and Bou Habib snap-called for 49,500 total with {K-Spades}{10-Spades} to double up.

However, Bou Habib was gone shortly after, while Maxim Panyak was sitting behind a massive stack that is nearing half a million. According to Stefan Huber, Bou Habib had raised and picked up two callers in Arianna Son and Panyak in the blinds.

On a flop of {K-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}, action checked to Bou Habib and he continued for 5,500. Son called and Panyak check-raised to 24,500. Bou Habib made it 65,000 to go in order to force our Son, then called the shove of Panyak with the {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. The Main Event finalist from last year turned over {K-}{2-} for flopped two pair and two bricks later Panyak had the busy task to integrate even more chips into the growing tower right in front of him.
