Renke Sends Ghassemlou to the Rail

Shervin Ghassemlou

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♥All in
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.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

With around 1,000,000 in the pot and the board showing 10♦6♣9♦9♥5♣, James Malatynski was first to act and bet 550,000. Shervin Ghassemlou quickly called, but Malatynski turned over 9♣8♣ for trip nines. That was enough to win the pot, as Ghassemlou's cards went into the muck.

Sidoti Hits the Rail

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The action folded around to Santo Sidoti in the small blind, who moved all-in for his last 325,000. Ofer Tadmor quickly called from the big blind.

Santo Sidoti: A♦6♠All in
Ofer Tadmor: A♥Q♦

Sidoti was behind and looking for help from the board. The 5♥4♥3♣3♥ runout gave him a few extra outs to improve or chop the pot on the river.

However, the Q♠ completed the board, giving Tadmor two pair and sending Sidoti to the rail.
