Boyadjian Can't Beat Pais; Josephy Hops into PCA Main Event
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Mauricio Pais opened to 1,500 from under the gun and was called by Mustapha Kanit and Yervand Boyadjian from the blinds.
On the 
flop, Kanit checked before Boyadjian led out for 1,400. Only Pais called.
The 
turn checked through to the 
river, Boyadjian fired for 5,100 and was quickly called.
Boyadjian had the 
for threes full of fives but the pot was awarded to Pais as he 
for threes full of queens.
"How do you have queen nine there? I just can't beat you," commented a frustrated Boyadjian.
As that hand played out, Cliff Josephy joined the table.
