Level 25
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
[Removed:2] gave up a pot to table neighbor Alexandru Papazian in a battle of the blinds and soon after, Alexandros Kolonias made it 100,000 to go from under the gun. Papazian called on the button as did Anthony Zinno in the big blind. The flop fell 
and Zinno checked, Kolonias checked as well.
Papazian then bet 150,000 and Zinno check-raised to 375,000. Only Kolonias called and faced a bet worth 275,000 on the 
turn. The Greek called before the 
river completed the board. Zinno's bet of 145,000 sent Kolonias into the think tank and he asked the dealer twice for the amount.
Taking off the sunglasses and looking ad the bet sizing again, he took another minute and the hand lasted well five minutes into the break before Kolonias called. Zinno rolled over 
for a busted straight and flush draw. "Ace high?" Zinno asked and Kolinias then flipped over his 
. "I got the bet wrong," Kolonias admitted before raking in the chips.

Max Silver raised to 100,000 under the gun with 5,000 left behind, and the action folded to Zvi Stern on the button.
"You don't have much behind, right?" Stern asked Silver, who had exactly one chip left behind.
About a minute went by, and Stern said, "I think you're bluffing."
"Did you look at your cards?" Stern asked Alexandru Papazian in the big blind.
Silver interfered and expressed that Stern was not allowed to discuss this. Stern apologized and ultimately had the clock called on him.
In the end, Stern folded, and Papazian put Silver all in from the big blind.
Silver:
Papazian:
The board ran out 
and, despite flopping a pair, Silver got knocked out when Papazian made two pair thanks to the river card.
