Nazarian Paid by Smadj to Close Gap on First Position
Nível 29
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Action folded around to Karen Nazarian, who completed the small blind. Anze Smajd then raised from the big blind and Nazarian called.
The flop came A♦3♦5♥ and both players checked. The turn was the 8♦ and Nazarian checked again. Smadj made it 250,000 to go and Nazarian called.
The river was the K♣ and Nazarian led out with a large bet of 700,000, which Smadj called. Nazarian showed K♥3♣ for two pair and Smadj mucked to give him the pot. With that, Nazarian closed the gap on current chip lead Nicolae Paunescu.
