Boyaciyan Doubles Through Jelassi

David Boyaciyan has just doubled through Ramzi Jelassi, but he still trails his two opponents by quite some distance.

Jelassi was the player to open the betting, raising to 240,000 on the button. Boyaciyan three-bet shoved for 1,610,000 in total and Jelassi snap-called.

Jelassi: {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Boyaciyan: {J-Spades}{9-Spades}

Boyaciyan flopped two pair on the {J-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop, but Jelassi caught up a little when the {A-Clubs} appeared on the turn. The {7-Clubs} failed to change the direction of the hand and Boyaciyan doubled up.

More Woe for Boyaciyan

Jelassi Wins Big Pot From Boyaciyan

Ramzi Jelassi opened on the button and then called when David Boyaciyan three-bet in the big blind.

Boyaciyan bet the {7-Spades}{k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop and the {10-Diamonds} turn but he couldn't shake Jelassi off. When the {3-Diamonds} landed on the turn, Boyaciyan slowed down and checked. Jelassi checked behind and took down the pot with his pocket nines. Boyaciyan showed {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} and lost the massive pot.

Dinner Break

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

No final deal has been finalised as yet. They've decided to give them a one-hour dinner break to make a final decision.

A Deal May Not Have Been Agreed!

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

More drama here in Prague as David Boyaciyan has second thoughts about the deal that they agreed in principal.

They had agreed to guarantee Boyaciyan €415,000 and the other two players €500,000; then leave €90,000 extra for second and €150,000 for the eventual winner.

This means they would be paid as follows :

Name1st place2nd place3rd place
Ramzi Jelassi€650,000€590,000€500,000
Sotirios Koutoupas€650,000€590,000€500,000
David Boyaciyan€565,000€505,000€415,000

Tournament director Luca Vivaldi was about to confirm the deal but was stopped in his tracks by Boyaciyan, who said he is not happy with the deal.
