Arzoomanian Rivered, Doubles Back Up

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Paren Arzoomanian
Paren Arzoomanian

Daniel Stacey opened the button for 125,000 and Paren Arzoomanian made the call. Both players checked the {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop and the {7-Clubs} hit the turn. Arzoomanian bet out 150,000 and Stacey called. The river came the {Q-Diamonds} and Arzoomanian moved forward 250,000. Stacey raised to 900,000 and the decision was back on Arzoomanian.

"Did you river me again? I think you've rivered me again." Arzoomanian muttered. Despite the good read, Arzoomanian called anyway and was soon shown the nuts by Stacey; {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. "Damn river. Every time!"

Not much later though, he doubled back up. Stacey opened for 125,000 and Arzoomanian three bet to 275,000. Stacey called in position and the flop came {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Arzoomanian bet out 210,000 and Stacey called. The {4-Hearts} fell on the turn and Arzoomanian checked. Stacey now put Arzoomanian all in and got snap called.

Paren Arzoomanian: {4-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Daniel Stacey: {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Stacey hat hit a double gutter on the turn and would be crowned victorious if he was able to hit an {8-} or {3-}. None of his eight outs appeared on the river. The {Q-Diamonds} completed the board and Stacey had to pay Arzoomanian an additional 1,705,000. Just about even now again, with a small edge for Arzoomanian.

Two Pair For Stacey

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Stacey reclaimed the chip lead after taking down a big pot with two pair.

Stacey started with his customary 125,000 raise from the button and Paren Arzoomanian called in the big blind. Arzoomanian check-called a 100,000 continuation bet on the {K-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop, leading the dealer to place the {3-Spades} on the turn.

Arzoomanian checked again, Stacey bet 300,000 and then called the check-raise to 700,000. Arzoomanian fired 900,000 on the {7-Hearts} river and Stacey instantly called, turning over {K-Spades}{2-Clubs}, which Arzoomanian couldn't beat.

Advantage Stacey.

Nothing Really Happening

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The two made a deal and play for "just" £5,170, but they're certainly not giving anything away. Play has gone back and forth and both players are just as aggressive from the button. No big pots as of yet, they're keeping the pots small.

To And Fro

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

It could take a cooler situation before a champion is crowned here in the Isle of Man because neither player is really giving anything away and the chips are going to and fro.

One hand saw Daniel Stacey raise to 125,000 then call a 275,000 three-bet from Paren Arzoomanian. Arzoomanian led for 305,000 but then folded to a raise to 700,000.

Neither player is shying away from playing against the other, but both are very competent and are not giving away their chips without a fight.

Arzoomanian Back in Control

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

A couple of large pots have gone the way of Paren Arzoomanian, the biggest and most recent seeing Daniel Stacey open to 100,000 and Arzoomanian calling. A flop of {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} saw Arzoomanian initially check, but when Stacey fired a 175,000 bet, Arzoomanian check-raised to 275,000. Stacey called.

The turn brought the {6-Clubs} into play and Arzoomanian bet 350,000 and was called. The river was the {10-Hearts} and Arzoomanian came out firing again, this time 550,000 and this time Stacey mucked.

Arzoomanian Makes a Nice Call

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Paren Arzoomanian made it 100,000 to go from the button and Daniel Stacey in the big blind called.

Stacey check called a 125,000 continuation bet on {5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, and checked again once the {A-Clubs} hit the turn. Arzoomanian made a bet of 200,000 and Stacey check raised to 625,000. Arzoomanian called in position.

The river came another ace ({A-Hearts} and both players checked. Stacey showed {5-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and had to let the pot go to Arzoomanian who turned over {6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

"You Hit Every River!"

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Stacey has claimed the chip lead after another large pot created by the heads-up duo.

Stacey raised to 100,000 Arzoomanian defended his big blind with a call before check-calling an 80,000 bet on the {3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop. The {A-Clubs} landed on the turn and Arzoomanian check-called again, this time a larger 175,000 bet. Arzoomanian checked for a third time on the {Q-Diamonds} before calling a 235,000 bet.

Stacey turned over {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts} and Arzoomanian struck the table.

"You hit every river," said Arzoomanian as he relinquished his chip lead.
