Assadourian Assassinated
In early position, Eric Assadourian open-shoved for his short stack of just over 10,000. "All you can eat, ladies and gentlemen," he said. "If anyone calls me, I'll check it down to the river." He made it safely all the way around to the big blind, but Didier Cicurel peeked at his cards in the big blind and made the call with the slightly covering stack. "Shit!" Assadourian said, knowing the news would not be good. And it wasn't.
Showdown
Assadourian:
Cicurel:
There was some hope of a chop on the turn, but the board of was of no use to the Team PokerStars Pro. Assadourian wished his table luck, stood up, and headed out into the tournament room to check on his mates.
