Lester Eliminates Papazyan

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Art Papazyan
Art Papazyan

Art Papazyan was moved from the orange section in the Amazon room to the purple section and found himself all in within a couple of hands.

The board was already {9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Jason Lester had 37,000 in the middle. Papazyan was all in for 92,000 and it was Lester's turn to act. He went into the tank for a couple of minutes and he looked like he had a tough decision. He ended up calling and the hands went on their backs.

Art Papazyan: {7-Spades}{5-Spades}
Jason Lester: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The river card was the {6-Hearts} and with that Papazyan got eliminated from the Main Event.

Foxen Blasts the River

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We picked up the action on the flop in what was presumably a three-bet pot as small blind Alex Foxen tangled with his opponent in the cutoff.

They looked at the {K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} where Foxen fired 6,800 and received a fast call. The {10-Clubs} then appeared and Foxen checked. The other player took over a minute but then he checked back and the {3-Clubs} hit the river.

Foxen reached to a stack of every denomination and threw in a bet of 21,800. His rival gave up and Foxen claimed the pot.

Roselius Cracks Aces to Double

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Stephen Roselius is really liking his new table.

Roselius had just 35,000 when his previous table broke and has doubled twice in the first orbit at his new table.

Firstly, Roselius got it in with {k-}{6-} and outdrew {a-}{k-}.

Soon after, Roselius but his now 83,600 stack in the middle and once again found himself in trouble.

This time though, Roselius ran {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} into {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}. A {q-Clubs}{k-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts} run out, however, was very much on his side and now sits well above average with about 170,000.

Frustration Sets in for Galfond

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

After losing a big pot with aces against pocket fours, Farah Galfond dropped down further in the counts and just called a raise to 3,300 by Daniel Cooke. Brian Altman from one seat over in the hijack made it 12,500 to go and all opponents folded. After the hand was over, Galfond was visibly frustrated on the secondary feature table.

Below are further assorted counts from the feature tables and the Amazon Purple section.
