Hand #48: Alexandru Papazian limped from the cutoff, and Michael Tureniec checked in the big blind. The flop came 
, and both players checked. Tureniec bet the 
turn for 475,000, and Papazian called. Tureniec checked the 
river. Papazian bet 1,500,000, and that forced a quick fold from Tureniec.
Hand #49: Papazian limped from the hijack, Tureniec completed from the small blind, and Darie checked the big blind. The 
flop was checked to Papazian, who bet 540,000. Tureniec folded, and Darie called before both Romanians checked the 
turn. Darie also checked the 
river, and Papazian bet 750,000 to win the pot.
Hand #50: Papazian limped in, and James Cappucci moved all in for 3,210,000. Papazian folded, and Cappucci's "Run it Up" rail cheered.
Hand #51: Papazian limped in for the fourth hand in a row. Tureniec raised to 815,000 from the cutoff, and Papazian three-bet to 2,000,000, forcing a fold from Tureniec.
