Derwiche Picks Two After Getting Shoved On

Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Christos Argyriadis mad a raise to 5,500 in the hijack. Imad Derwiche called on the button before Daniel Montagnolli made it 22,500 to go in the small blind.

Argyriadis quickly folded but Derwiche complied with a call. Montagnolli put in 25,000 on the 103K flop. "Gift," said Derwiche as he made the call.

"For whom?" Montagnolli asked without response. The Q turn saw Montagnolli size up to 60,000, which Derwiche quickly called.

Montagnolli had 87,000 remaining, and he jammed it in the middle on the 5 river. Derwiche spent one time bank before he made an agonized fold.

He requested to pick two cards from Montagnolli's hand to show, and he turned over Q6.

"How do you pick exactly those two?" Mantognolli pondered laughingly.

Imad Derwiche
Imad Derwiche

"Megas", Imad Derwiche, and Sebastien Compte each put in 7,500 preflop. "Megas" then bet 10,000 on the AJ4 flop and was called by only Derwiche.

The rest of Derwiche's chips flew in on the K turn, tabling the cards.

Imad Derwiche: A752 All in
"Megas": AAJ2

Derwiche needed a three or a spade to double up. The J river was a spade, but it gave "Megas" a full house to take the pot and eliminate Derwiche.
