Level 4 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Nichan Khorchidian
Nichan Khorchidian

Nichan Khorchidian was down to around 25,000 chips, but not long after play resumed from the break, he scored a much-needed double-up.

On a flop of 855, the rest of Khorchidian's chips went in the middle, and Georgios Skarparis made the call.

Nichan Khorchidian: A8 All in
Georgios Skarparis: AQ

Khorchidian had paired his eight and stayed in front after the 39 runout, which earned him the extra chips he needed.
