: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Nichan Khorchidian shoved from the small blind and Nicolae Paunescu , who had around 700,000 in the big blind and was covered, made the call for his tournament life.
Nicolae Paunescu: A♦5♦ 
Nichan Khorchidian: 6♠6♣
Paunescu made a pair of fives but couldn't improve further on the 8♥3♠5♥9♥3♣ runout and was sent to the rail while Khorchidian continued accumulating chips.
