Romania's all-time money leader Alexandru Papazian returns from a hot summer in Las Vegas, where he won his country's first-ever bracelet. Papazian won $888,888, the second largest score of the Romanian's career. His biggest achievement came from 2016 when he topped the EPT12 Monte-Carlo €25,750 High Roller for €1,197,000.
Papazian is off to a rocky start today and already has parted with half his stack. On a board, Papazian bet 1,250 and Fabian Mayorga Medina called. The river was the and Papazian bet 3,000, which Mayorga snap-called.

A player on the button had an all-in shove of 11,000 in front of him when we got to his table, having been faced with a raise to 1,600 from Jeff Kirsch in the small blind. Kirsch thought it over and then tossed in a call, and the all-in shipper immediately stood up and tabled , expecting to be heading for the exits.
However, he was ahead as Kirsch held . The dealer spread a flop.
"Good flop for you," said Mark Teltscher, clearly expecting things were wrapped up.
That would be a natural assumption with Kirsch drawing to runners, but he found a sweat on the turn. The river gave Kirsch kings full to eliminate his unfortunate opponent, who had resumed sitting in expectation of receiving a double and had to get right back up.
