Paul Takes a Chunk out of Papazian

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Thomas Paul raised in early position to 3,000, the button and small blind called while Alexandru Papazian three-bet to 18,000 and only Paul made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Papazian led out for 9,000 which Paul raised him to 23,000 and he made the call.

Both players checked on the {6-Spades} turn and the {k-Clubs} landed on the river. Papazian was first to act and while deciding to check or bet, the clock was called, he had 30-seconds to act and when he was down to four seconds he threw in a 33,000 bet. The chips hadn't even landed in the middle before Paul threw in one chip signaling a call.

Papazian showed {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and Paul showed {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} to take down the pot with kings and tens.
