Aram Oganyan Recovers With A Flush

Picking up the action on a three-way Q♥ A♥ 7♥ flop with 162,000 in the middle the action gets checked to cutoff Xue Song who makes it 65,000, Stanley Choi folds and Aram Oganyan calls for the turn Q♦ . Checked to Song again, he puts his opponent all-in for 188,500 with a flush 6♥ 5♥ , but receives bad news when Oganyan snaps with a higher flush T♥ 8♥ . The river 8♦ changes nothing and Aram Oganyan scoops a huge pot.

Aram Oganyan Out Of The Danger Zone

Yu Lei, who finished 8th in the $15,000 Superstar Challenge last night, opens 8,000 from the cutoff, Aram Oganyan three-bets 32,500 from the big blind and Yu calls for the flop to hit 8♠ T♦ J♦ . Oganyan jams for 142,500 and Yu calls, putting the former at risk.

YL Yu Lei | 9♥T♥ CO | 310,000(78 BB) |
AO Aram Oganyan | Q♥J♠ BB | 356,000(89 BB) |
With one of Yu's outs in his opponents hand, the turn K♦ and river K♥ leave Oganyan in front, granting him the double but still below the starting stack.
