Top Chip Counts

Shahin Norouzian opened 30,000 on the hijack, which was left unnoticed by Armon Van Wijk on the small blind. Van Wijk raised all-in 180,000 in an attempt to go head to head with the big blind, but instead was called down by Norouzian.

“Oh no. I didn’t see that”, said Van Wijk but was entirely too late as the runout 7♦ 5♦ 2♥ T♠ T♣ had already sealed his fate.

With a pot of 76,000 centered in the middle on flop 5♦ 2♠ J♣ , three way action was checked to Alfie Adam, who bet 42,500. Initial raiser Shahin Norouzian called to see turn 2♥ , but surrendered shortly after Adam pulled another 110,000.

Shahin Norouzian opened utg and called a 42,000 three bet from Jakkapong Sreprasom a seat after.

On flop T♣ Q♠ 4♦ , Norouzian snap called Srepasom's all-in for 61,000 with midpair T♠ 9♠ , putting his opponent at risk. Srepasom behind with A♦ K♦ , failed to catch up on either turn 5♦ or river T♥ , busting him in the process.

Nattawut Kwunsong opened 2,000 utg+1 and saw Jerome Finck flick in his last 3,400. Shahin Norouzian on the small blind joined the action and Kwunsong completed.

On board A♦ J♠ 8♠ K♦ , Kwunsong bet both streets - 2,500 and 6,200, building up a side pot as Norouzian check called onto river 9♣ . Kwunsong slowed down and checked it back, revealing his top pair to be good against both opponents' pair of kings.
