Larquemin Dominates Papazian

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Christophe Larquemin
Christophe Larquemin

Christophe Larquemin was out of position in a heads-up pot against Alexandru Papazian on a board of {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{a-Hearts}.

With around 23,000 already in the middle, Larquemin moved all in to put Papazian to the test for his remaining 12,000 or so.

"I have an ace but I'm not sure about it," Papazian said before eventually calling.

Alexandru Papazian: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Christophe Larquemin: {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Papazian was correct to be wary of his hand and he was eliminated as the {k-Hearts} peeled off on the river to keep Larquemin ahead with his two pair.

Symeon Alexandridis was all in and at risk against the bigger-stacked Arthur Thiriat.

Symeon Alexandridis: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Arthur Thiriat: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
