The 
flop gave no help to either player and the turn paired the board with the

wasn’t what he needed. O’Brien shipped the pot and is up over 800,000 as we are down to 13 players.

Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Ali Ghezelbash has been eliminated in 16th place.
Ghezelbash had been crippled by an earlier hand and then he shoved for 105,000 in middle position.
The action folded to Thibault Klinghammer in the big blind who made the call.
Klinghammer turned over the and so Ghezelbash was looking good with his 
.
The 
flop was no danger for Ghezelbash, but danger came on the turn as the 
gave Klinghammer a flush draw. Then the “awwws” of the crowd signified Ghezelbash’s worst nightmare as the back door flush was complete with the 
on the river. Klinghammer now moves up towards 500,000 in chips.

Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
A raise to 50,000 from early position by Ali Ghezelbash received three callers - Denis Sekuloski from middle position, Rined Namrood from the cutoff position and David O’Brien from the big blind.
The flop was 
and O’Brien checked and Ghezelbash made a continuation bet of 100,000. Sekuloski made the call and the other two released their hands. Ghezelbash checked the turn and Sekuloski bet 110,000 and Ghezelbash made the call. Again Ghezelbash checked after seeing the river . Sekuloski thought for a while before announcing he was all in. Ghezelbash went into the tank as he would be eliminated if he made the call and did not have the winning hand. Ghezelbash played with his remaining 200,000 before eventually folding. Sekuloski pushed his two cards close to Ghezelbash and said “pick one”. Ghezelbash exposed the leaving the table and rail wondering what the other card was.
