Renke Sends Ghassemlou to the Rail
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
James Malatynski opened with a raise to 220,000 from middle position, and Kajetan Renke called from the seat next to him. Shervin Ghassemlou then moved all-in for 815,000 from the cutoff. Malatynski quickly folded, while Renke said, "Now I have to call," before tossing in a chip to make the call.
Shervin Ghassemlou: K♠K♥
Kajetan Renke: A♠9♦
Renke found an ace on the A♠8♦6♦ flop, putting him ahead. He also picked up a flush draw, leaving Ghassemlou with very few outs to stay in the tournament.
The 2♣ turn and 5♣ river brought no help for Ghassemlou, who was sent to the rail.
