Alexandru Papazian
Alexandru Papazian

The player under-the-gun opened to 90,000 and got calls from three players including Alexandru Papazian in the small blind.

The flop was {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and the UTG player continued with a bet of 150,000. Action folded to Papazian who raised to 360,000. The UTG player asked for the amount and then three-bet shoved all-in. Papazian snap-called.

Papazian: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Papazian flops trip queens to take the lead and had his opponent drawing dead on the turn with the {q-Hearts}, giving him quads.

The {3-Hearts} completed the board and sent his opponent to the rail while Papazian is now the tournament chipleader.

We didn't catch the action, but as we approached the table, the dealer was cutting down David Jackson's stack.

Laying in front of Jackson was his {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, and beside it, his opponent's {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. In the middle of the table was a {6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Spades} board. Jackson had out-flopped his opponent and held to score a massive double-up.
