board was on the table and Samvel Grigoryan had a bet of 35,000 in front of him from the hijack. The pot had about 80,000 in it and Alexandre Reard pushed all in from the big blind. The bet was for 87,200 and Grigoryan didn't seem to be very call-happy.

Dead last of 30 players coming into Day 4 of the EPT Monte Carlo €5,300 Main Event to chip leading within three levels — it’s been a very lucky day for amateur poker player Wei Huang.
The 34-year-old amateur poker player from Shanghai, China is enjoying his very first trip to Europe, and picked a great time to run good.
While he stays busy with his job as a finance controller for PepsiCo, Huang loves poker and plays for fun when he can. Sitting with the big-time pros late in the Main Event in Monaco, Huang is a little starstruck, but not letting it interfere with his game. In the late levels of the day, he's been seated with the likes of Ryan Riess, Sam Greenwood and Manig Loeser at the featured live-streamed table.
“It’s amazing because when I look at them, they’re like my idols. I’m a big fan of most of these players.”
