Pappas Mia! Greg Going Down

After starting the day on a second-place 304,000, Greg Pappas has had a rough time of it and now finds himself on just 170,000.

Most of the damage was done by chip monster Farzad Rouhani in a massive stud 8 hand. On sixth street, with {Q-Hearts}

up for Pappas and {5-Hearts}

up for Rouhani, Rouhani laughed good-naturedly as Pappas raised him. "Are you still betting?" he said, as he reraised him. More chips in the middle come seventh street, and eventually Pappas flipped {Q-Clubs}

for two pair, and Rouhani scooped the lot with {Q-Diamonds}

X for a better two pair. Rouhani steams ahead on well over 600,000.

Pappas, now apparently demoralized, dropped a few more chips on the very next hand, calling his bets until fifth street with {4-Spades}
