Table neighbor Ivan Luca took them and is now among the second biggest stacks after the dominating Michael Mizrachi.
Fuat Tanindi was all in for his last 43,000 chips and change with Simeon Naydenov still in the hand. The Bulgarian eventually looked up his opponent with 
and had two live cards against Tanindi's 
. Naydenov would indeed improve on a board of 
and that was it.
Michael Mizrachi raised to 4,500 and Majid Ejlal Noubarian three-bet to 16,000, which was called by the American. On the 
flop, Noubarian led for 20,000 and Mizrachi made it 55,000 to go. The Iranian clicked it up to 120,000 and "The Grinder" called.
Both players checked the 
turn and Noubarian checked the 
on the river. Mizrachi moved all in with the superior stack, sending Noubarian into the think tank. Ultimately, he would release his cards after realizing that he was covered and the splashed up pot went to the American.

Majid Ejlal Noubarian had Timur Margolin at risk for what looked like 30,000 in chips and both players had pocket pairs.

The board ran out

Sevket Yildiz doubled up earlier today and was just all in again, this time versus Miltiadis Kyriakides. Yildiz bet small on the 
river and Kyriakides raised to 15,000 only to snap-fold to the all in of Yildiz. "5k more and you would have won," Yildiz said to his opponent and then stacked the chips.
