Curious Karmazinas

Andrew Chen raised to 230,000 and it folded to Dominykas Karmazinas, who dwelled up. He asked for a count on Andrew Chen (answer: almost 3 million), then asked for confirmation of the raise amount (answer: 230,000), then asked how long there was left in the level (answer: around five minutes). He dwelled up some more. Then he folded. Big blind Josef Klinger folded too, and Chen took the pot.

Roger Hairabedian Eliminated in 7th Place (€200,000)

Hairabedian - 7th place
Hairabedian - 7th place
Nicolas Chouity raised to 230,000 and it folded around to Roger Hairabedian in the big blind who paused. He looked down at his remaining 310,000 - three big blinds - and said, "I think I'm all in blind. I think I'm too old..." Then he pushed, and Chouity naturally made the call.

Chouity: {A-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}
Hairabedian: dominated with {J-Spades} {3-Spades}

Flop: {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds} giving Chouity trips

Turn: {Q-Spades} giving Hairabedian a tantalizing flush draw

River: {Q-Hearts}

Chouity made a full house and Hairabedian made nothing at all, meaning that the Frenchman is out in 7th place.

Chouity Not Easing Off

Man-with-all-the-chips Nicolas Chouity raised under the gun and Josef Klinger called in the big blind. However, Klinger checked the {4-Spades} {3-Hearts} {2-Hearts} flop and then folded to Chouity's continuation bet.
