Papazian Doubles His Stack Without Being At Risk
Level 10
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Left with 60,000 chips 20 minutes before the end of Level 9, Alexandru Papazian had 50,000 more chips 10 minutes later.
First, he won a 30,000 pot thanks to a better pair. Then he called from the big blind an open by a player in middle position, which was already called by the cutoff.
On the flop 9?J?6?, the middle position player continued to 3,300, and got called twice. The turn 10? didn't change anything, as all three players checked.
This lack of action motivated Papazian to take the lead on the river 2?, where he bet 25,000. Covered, the player in middle position folded, and the cutoff also mucked his cards.
