Ma and Ghezelbash Take a Flip
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Shengfeng Ma opened to 30,000 from early position and got a call from the cutoff before Ali Ghezelbash shoved from the big blind for 145,000. Ma then reshoved, with a covering stack, and the cutoff pondered for a few moments before folding.
Ali Ghezelbash: A♦J♥ 
Shengfeng Ma: 6♠6♣
It was a fair fight and Ma kept the lead after the 9♥3♦7♦ flop, but Ghezelbash added a lot more outs on the 2♦ turn when he picked up a flush draw. That flush completed on the Q♦ river, and Ghezelbash doubled up, evening out the stacks with Ma.
