Guilbert Doubles Through Papazian

Level 34 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Johan Guilbert
Johan Guilbert

Johan Guilbert raised to 30,000 from mid-position and Alexandru Papazian called in the big blind.

Papazian check-raised Guilbert's continuation-bet of 12,000 to 42,000 on the {4-Spades}{q-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop and Guilbert called.

The turn brought them the {q-Hearts}, Papazian checked again and Guilbert bet 57,000. Papazian raised to 150,000 and Guilbert looked at his cards once more, counted out the rest of his stack before making the call in the end.

The river completed the board with the {3-Clubs} and Papazian shoved with the bigger stack which Guilbert snap-called.

Papazian resignedly tabled {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for two pair, queens and fours with the ace-kicker. Guilbert quickly got up from his seat and flipped over {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for the turned trip queens to double up.

The dealer counted out his stack and confirmed Guilbert had 299,000 behind, kicking Guilbert into the chip lead and leaving Papazian behind with just under 450,000.

Zamani Can't Bluff Farrell

Level 34 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger won the last hand of the previous level when he check-called a bet of 15,000 by Jan Lakota on the {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, then checked through a {q-Hearts} turn and bet the {q-Diamonds} river for 21,000 to force a fold.

As soon as the blinds went up, Ben Farrell raised to 26,000 and Martin Zamani made the call out of the big blind. On the {q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, Zamani check-raised from 20,000 to 45,000 and Farrell called to see the {4-Clubs} on the turn. Zamani bet 70,000 and Farrell called once more with 233,000 behind.

The {2-Spades} river paired the board for the second time and Zamani was to act.

"You got anything? Just curious," Zamani said in table chat before leading for 50,000. Farrell called and caught Zamani bluffing with the {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}. The Brit held the winning hand with {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} and nearly moved back to where he started the final table with.

Papazian Thriving

Level 33 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Alexandru Papazian
Alexandru Papazian

Weiyi Zhang raised to 23,000 from early position and was called by Alexandru Papazian from two seats over and Martin Zamani in the big blind. On the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop, action checked to Papazian and he bet 21,000. Zamani made the call while Zhang got out of the way.

On the {3-Spades} turn, Zamani checked once more and Papazian now bet 126,000.

"A lot. Just curious, maybe there is a reason," Zamani said in table chat and called, trying to get any kind of reaction from his opponent.

The {4-Spades} on the river was checked through and Zamani turned over {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for top pair. Papazian had that beat with {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for top two and claimed the pot, adding "that was the reason" with a grin on the face.

Lichtenberger Raises Guilbert

Level 33 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 20,000 from under the gun and Johan Guilbert was the only one to make the call from the big blind.

The flop came {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, Guilbert quickly bet 10,000 and Lichtenberger called.

Guilbert then quickly bet another 10,000 which Lichtenberger called on the {2-Diamonds} on the turn to see the {10-Clubs} complete the board. Guilbert flicked in another 10,000 bet but Lichtenberger raised to 125,000. Guilbert smiled and then stared at Lichtenberger for a while to see if he could find any tells. He even glanced underneath the table to look at Lichtenberger's legs. Guilbert looked at his cards twice more before opting to fold.

"Nice hand," Guilbert commented before rapping the table.

"Thank you," Lichtenberger said dryly.

Martin Zamani
Martin Zamani

Martin Zamani limped in and Weiyi Zhang raised to 32,000 in the cutoff, Ben Farrell called in the big blind and Zamani made it three ways to the {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop. The action checked around and the {8-Hearts} followed on the turn. Farrell now bet 75,000 and Zamani called, Zhang got out of the way.

On the {6-Clubs} river, Farrell bet 100,000 and Zamani started some table chat.

"Hello. How are you? Reasonable?" were the first few words and suddenly everyone turned around as a spectator had tripped on the rail. The focus shifted for a few seconds and Zamani then called after a minute of consideration.

Farrell showed {9-Spades}{6-Spades} for a straight and Zamani turned over his {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} with the words "I don't have much."

Farrell, with a dry voice, replied "just a full house."
