Down to his last 31,000 South Florida’s Paul Balzano open-shoved  under the gun. It folded all the way around to the big blidn, Georges Boyadjian.

“Do you want action?” Boyadjian asked. “I haven’t looked.”

Balzano called for action and got it as Boyadjian plopped a lone 25,000 chip in the middle signifying a call.

Boyadjina paired the flop giving Balzano a sweat. The turn was a blank, but the river gave Boyadjian trips and Balzano was dealt a brutal beat to bust in 68th place.

Georges Boyadjian – 500,000 (50 bb)
Paul Balzano – Eliminated in 68th place ($871)
