Papazian Increases Lead Again
Level 28
: 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
The first few hands from dinner break provided not much of an excitement but two patterns were easily visible. Alexandru Papazian opens to 2.5 big blinds while Alexandros Kolonias usually just min raises. Most of those pots went to Papazian, who once folded to a three-bet and the most interesting hand saw him make two pair and get paid off.
Kolonias raised to 200,000 and Papazian called to see the flop 
. Papazian check-called a bet worth 200,000 before they checked through the 
turn. On the 
river, Papazian then fired a bet worth 800,000 and Kolonias eventually called off after some consideration to muck when shown 
by Papazian.
