Victor Paraschiv has just found a much needed double up and is now close to 1,000,000 in chips.
The action folded to him on the button and he made an overly large raise of 46,000. Walid Bou Habib three-bet to 116,000 and after three minutes Paraschiv four-bet to 208,000. A full five minutes later Bou Habib moved all-in and Paraschiv acted extremely quickly and snap-called.

Paraschiv was nicely in front and he stayed that was as the board ran out

We have not really mentioned the name Joseph El Khoury very much on Day 4 and that is due to a combination of factors. One is he is short-stacked and has resigned himself to playing shove-or-fold poker and the other is that he is also rather tight.
He just added a few vital chips to his stack after he three-bet all-in for 252,000 when Ran Azor opened to 32,000. Azor looked like he was genuinely considering a call but his cards found their way back to the dealer.
El Khoury has shoved a few times over the past few levels and is yet to be looked up but he is also yet to show his pushing range too.
It's all still really subdued here, Walid Bou Habib fired out a 42,000 bet on a board reading 
but then meekly folded when Ran Azor made it 108,000 behind him.
Sam El Sayed and Gilboa Yossi both checked a 
flop before El Sayed led out for 56,000 on the 
turn. Yossi called to see the 
put four to a straight on the board, both players cautiously checked and El Sayed won the pot with

Mike Sexton is just one player who has called for poker to have a basketball-like shot clock introduced in an attempt to prevent players from slowing down the action. One player who would fall victim of such rules if they were ever introduced is Kemal Sevevi, a player who takes an age to make even the most basic of decisions.
He opened to 38,000 from middle position and Marvin Rettenmaier three-bet to 86,000 in the small blind. Gilboa Yossi paused for over 90 seconds before folding and despite having those 90 seconds to think about his own actions, Sevevi took another two minutes to make the call.
The dealer fanned out the 
flop, Sevevi waited for 90-seconds before checking. Rettenmaier bet 64,000 and after another two minute tank Sevevi folded his hand.
Everyone seems content to play small ball poker right now so the action has really dropped off.
Walid Bou Habib opened from the cutoff to 34,000 and to his left was Erik Cajelais. He three-bet to 77,000 but just as matters started to get interesting Bou Habib mucked his hand and Cajelais won a small pot.
