Grigoryan Bubbles the Main Event
On the direct bubble of the Main Event, Arsen Grigoryan was forced all-in from the big blind for his last 25,000 before Denis Karakashi limped from the hijack. Patrick Kallas just called from the small blind and they went to the flop three-ways with Grigoryan all-in.
Kallas and Karakashi checked a runout of Q♣10♦8♦7♥A♣ all the way down to the river. After the floor staff and cameras arrived, the cards were turned over.
Arsen Grigoryan: J♣J♠ 
Denis Karakashi: 4♣2♣
Patrick Kallas: A♦8♠
Karakashi was playing the board, while Grigoryan had found pocket jacks in the big blind. However, he lost the pot to Kallas' rivered two pair with aces and eights.
Unfortunately for Grigoryan, this meant he was the bubble boy of the 2025 Mediterranean Poker Party Main Event, with the remaining 175 players all now in the money.
