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.

We're not exactly sure what just transpired, as we only caught the tail end of a massive hand between John Juanda and Eric Sfez. What we do know is that on a {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{K-Clubs} board, Juanda had his remaining stack of over 100,000 in the middle with {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for just seven-high, while Sfez' was showing {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for trip eights.

With Juanda's bustout, Sfez now sits behind a massive pile worth 330,000.
