Who's your Papa-zian

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Alexandru Papazian
Alexandru Papazian

In back-to-back hands, Alexandru Papazian has launched himself toward the top of the leaderboard.

In the first hand, Alexandru Papazian limped in from early position. Jakub Wojtas moved all in for 87,000 in late position and Kevin Song called on the button. Papazian then moved all in and, after calling a clock on Song, he called as well.

Papazian: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Song: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Wojtas: {a-}{q-}

The board ran out {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{k-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {k-Clubs} and the river produced a flush for Song who celebrated only to realise he was still beat by Papazian's full house. Papazian had both players covered and was up to just over 1,500,000 in chips.

In the following hand, a player under the gun moved all in for 64,000. Papazian called in early position and all other players folded.

Papazian: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Under the gun: {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out good for Papazian with an ace-high flop and he added a third elimination in two hands to chip up to just over 1,600,000.

Double Knockout for Chang Luo

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The player on the button moved all in for roughly 170,000. Arturs Daugis was in the small blind and moved all in for his remaining 45,000, and Chang Luo, in the big blind, called them both.

Chang Luo: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Arturs Daugis: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Button: {q-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The board ran out great for Luo, as both players were drawing dead by the turn of the {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts} board. The river was an inconsequential {10-Spades}, and Luo added to his stack as yet another table was broken.

Tureniec Takes a Bit Off Qartomy

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

With about 150,000 in the pot and the board showing {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades}, Michael Tureniec bet 75,000. Qartomy had checked after both players had checked the street prior, and he thought for just a moment before tossing his cards into the muck.
