"Why You Go All In?" - Nicolas Chouity Eliminated
With a flop reading 
, Nicolas Chouity check called a 5,000 bet from the under the gun position. His next door neighbor, Aleksey Arakelov, was the one demanding the 5,000 payment to be made.
The 
fell on the turn, and Chouity checked once again. Arakelov, who finished third in the partypoker WPT National Kazakhstan ($28,130) back in May, bet out 8,000. Chouity thought for some time, and eventually moved all in for just under 30,000. Arakelov called immediately.
With the instant call behind him, Chouity all of the sudden wasn't so sure his 
was good anymore. He was in fact well in the lead though, Arakelov tabled a mere 
.
The 
hit the river, pairing up Arakelov for the second time.
We couldn't exactly hear what Chouity muttered, but it must have been something along the lines of "Why did you call?" Whatever Chouity said, Arakelov was pretty clear in his answer, shrugging "Why You Go All In?" repeatedly.
Aleksey Arakelov has a more then playable stack to work with now. Other big stacks in the room are Seref Anar, Ivan Sheptytskiy, and Igor Dubinsky.
