Fatehi Roars to the Top

Yehoram Houri left the tournament area while word on the street was that Ali Reza Fatehi had scooped an enormous pot to boost his stack significantly. Indeed the third-place finisher of the €100,000 Super High Roller was sitting on more than nines times the starting stack and had a big grin on his face.

"Double elimination. I had pocket deuces against pocket aces and ace-king. There was a deuce on the flop and on the river," Fatehi added. With that, the Iranian appears to be the run-away chip leader right now with half an hour to go for the day.
