Ali Ghezelbash

The short stacks are clawing for air at this point, desperately trying to squeak their way into the money. Ali Ghezelbash was one of the shortest left in the field. He moved all in from middle position for 31,000 after Brett Daphne opened for 12,000. Daphne made the call.

Daphne: {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

Ghezelbash: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

The flop was perfect for Ghezelbash. It came {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

to give him top pair and eliminate any flush or straight possibilities for Daphne. Daphne was drawing dead by the turn {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

, although he did spike a pair when the river fell {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

.

Ghezelbash is still short. He has 67,000 chips. Daphne is on 135,000.
