In back-to-back hands, Alexandru Papazian has launched himself toward the top of the leaderboard.

In the first hand, Alexandru Papazian limped in from early position. Jakub Wojtas moved all in for 87,000 in late position and Kevin Song called on the button. Papazian then moved all in and, after calling a clock on Song, he called as well.

Papazian: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Song: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Wojtas: {a-}{q-}

The board ran out {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{k-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {k-Clubs} and the river produced a flush for Song who celebrated only to realise he was still beat by Papazian's full house. Papazian had both players covered and was up to just over 1,500,000 in chips.

In the following hand, a player under the gun moved all in for 64,000. Papazian called in early position and all other players folded.

Papazian: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Under the gun: {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out good for Papazian with an ace-high flop and he added a third elimination in two hands to chip up to just over 1,600,000.
