Noubarian Busts Krol to Move Above 200,000

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

David Vella raised to 1,200 from early position before Majid Ejlal Noubarian made it 3,000 from the cutoff. Pawel Krol called from the small blind and Vella tossed in the chips to come along.

The flop was {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades} and Krol shoved his last 11,500. Vella quickly went into the muck and Noubarian called to put Krol at risk. The cards were turned on their backs and Krol was slightly ahead.

Pawel Krol: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Majid Ejlal Noubarian: {8-Spades}{5-Spades}

The board finished up {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and Noubarian rivered the needed flush to send Krol to the rail.

Badem Runs Out of Time

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There was 21,000 in the pot on the {4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{j-Diamonds} completed board. Hayg Badem checked in the small blind before Gerard Carbo bet 20,000 from the big blind.

Badem then went deep into the tank for several minutes.

"Sorry guys," he said to his tablemates. "Why this river?," he asked.

Badem began replaying the hand out loud, "I don't even know which nine you have," added Badem.

The clock was eventually called and Badem was unable to make a decision before his time ran out and his hand was declared dead.

Heizmann's Overbet Gets Called Twice

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There was around 10,000 in the pot on the {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Spades}{k-Clubs}{4-Spades} board. Stefan Heizmann overbet to 12,900 from the small blind and was called by Neville Endo on his direct left.

Gorki Da Costa was in the tank from the cutoff and he found a call as well.

Heizmann tabled his {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for a full house, queens full of kings. Endo mucked and Da Costa exposed his {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for a no-good flush.

Ren Lin: {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Kolonias Doubles Jalilov

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Alexandros Kolonias opened the action from under the gun, and it folded around the Shukhrat Jalilov in the big blind. Jalilov went all in for roughly 16,000 chips, and Kolonias quickly called.

Shukhrat Jalilov: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Alexandros Kolonias: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Kolonias flopped extra outs on {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, but the {2-Clubs} turn and {k-Diamonds} river let Jalilov get away unscathed.

Jalilov finished fifth in the first event of EPT Paris, the €1,100 Freezeout, for €23,260. This double-up let him stay in contention to beat that score in the Main Event.
