Alalam Flips Out Papazian
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Bakhos Alalam opened from under the gun and Alexandru Papazian put in a three-bet from middle position off a stack of around 150,000. When it got back to Alalam, he shoved, and Papazian called off.
Alexandru Papazian: J♠J♥ 
Bakhos Alalam: A♥Q♠
Papazian was ahead with his pair of jacks, but swiftly fell behind as the Q♥7♣10♠ flop gave Alalam top pair. A little bit of help arrived on the turn for Papazian in the form of an 8♦, which gave him a gutshot, but the 5♦ river meant he was eliminated.
