Speaking of Simonyan

[user66118]

Max Lykov opened the action with a raise to 40,000, and the betting folded around to the blinds. In the small, Arthur Simonyan made the call, only to see big blind Torsten Tent move all in for more than 1,000,000! Lykov quickly folded with a chuckle, but Simonyan would think it over and eventually call all in for his last 263,000, his tournament now in immediate danger.

Showdown
Simonyan: {J-Diamonds}

Tent:

The flop took away half of Tent's outs as it came {A-Diamonds}

. Tent was looking for only the eight of spades to earn the knockout, but he wouldn't find it as the turn and river fell {Q-Hearts}

and

respectively. Simonyan holds to tally his second double up at this nine-handed table, the latest of those vaulting him up to 664,000 and back into contention.

He's now right on the heels of Torsten Tent who sits just on the high side of 700,000 in chips.
