.
The two men both flopped pairs as the dealer spread out 
. Hachem checked, then called a bet of what looked like 92,000 from Ramdin. That led them to the turn, a good card for Hachem. With two pair, he fired out a cool 200,000, and Ramdin flatted with his top pair now trailing. The on the river drew checks from both players, and Hachem's two pair gives him the pot to move dangerously close to 2 million.

Ramdi: 
Metaal: 
The 
flop was kind to Metaal but Ramdin picked up a straight draw. The turn changed nothing and neither did the river. Just like that, the short stack at the start of the day was up to about 550,000.
