Ejlal Noubarian Majid from Iran opened, got a call from Anthony Sala Hababou and Walid Bou Habib raised it up from the button. The blinds folded and Habib’s two opponents made the call. They checked the flop and turn and on the river of a final board reading Majid was first to act and tossed out a bet of 1,400. Hababou folded but Habib raised him to 4,600. Majid scratched his head, seemingly unconvinced, looking down the table his implacable opponent from Lebanon. Eventually he shrugged and passed his cards to the dealer.
Fatih Aydin opened to 450 on the button before Dave Shallow made it 1,350 in the small blind. Ayman Zbib flat-called in the big blind but Aydin four-bet to 3,200. Shallow and Zbib both called this time to see a flop.
All three players checked and Shallow fired a 5,700 bet on the straighting, flushing turn. Zbib quickly folded and Aydin sharply followed suit.
"Red, red, keep it red," shouted Jeremy Nock a couple of tables over form where I stood. A few seconds later a loud, "yes," was emitted from his lips. He'd evidently been all-in at some point (I think the flop) of a board with and was up against Omar Lakhdari's .
His plea answered he sat back down to count his stack, it was 17,300 and so he doubled up to around 35,000.
November 2011 David Boyaciya out of nowhere won the biggest tournament in Holland; the Master Classics of Poker in Amsterdam for €382,200. Not even a month later he travelled to Prague for the European Poker Tour. He finished runner up to Martin Finger for another €535,000.
Boyaciyan had found his calling and continued to crush tournaments all over the world. He travelled to the PCA where he cashed in a side event, made two cashes at the World Series that year and made the final table in a Partouche Poker Tour side event. Not much later it was time for Prague again and once more he made the final table. This time he ended up third for €310,000.
Boyaciyan is playing good and running well. He's playing today and so far enjoying himself. So far so good as Boyaciyan is playing 48,000 at the moment. Boyaciyan isn't splashing his chips just yet, small pots are what he's playing. The only slightly bigger pot was one where his opponent tried to bluff him. Boyaciyan called the raise on the turn and bet on the river with pocket aces. His opponent had complete air and had to forfeit his chips to the Dutch pro.
Belgian live player Bart Lybaert is in good company today, though he might be not all too happy with his neighbors.
Right next to him is Antoine Saout, third place finisher in the WSOP Main Event ($3,479,670) the year Joe Cada won. Right next to Saout is Patrick Bruel, the French singer, actor and poker player with 640,000 facebook likes, 117,000 twitter followers and $1,000,000 in cashes.
Lybaert has position on both players though, let's see where it will lead them today.
Italian Luca Fiorini opened for 1,100 from early position and it folded round to big blind Daniel Ghionoiu who made the call. Well, it’d be rude not to really. He also announced “Check blind.” They saw a flop of and, with it checked to him, Fiorini made it 1,000 which was called by Ghionoiu. The turn card was the which Ghionoiu waited to see before checking and calling a bet of 2,100. The River came the and a final check from Ghionoiu. Fiorini bet 6,100 and Ghionoiu shrugged and mucked his hand. Fiorini showed the table his hand. .
