Stern Meets Papazian ... Twice

Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Zvi Stern was the initial raiser and Alexandru Papazian defended the big blind to see the flop come . Both checked and Papazian then bet the
turn for 55,000. Stern called before they checked down the
river.
Papazian showed for ace-high and Stern was about to muck, but then checked his cards again. "Oh wait, I am good, I thought I had king-six," the start-of-the-day chip leader said and tabled the winning
.
One hand later, Stern raised again and Papazian flatted before check-folding the turn.
