David Salituro

Level 25 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Imad Derwiche raised to 500,000 on the button, "Gypsy Baron" reraised to 1,500,000, and Derwiche called.

Derwiche pretended to block of own view of the 7♦4♣2♠ flop as "Gypsy Baron" continued for 3,300,000. Derwiche called and "Gypsy Baron" put in his last 925,000 on the 5♥ turn. Derwiche again called.

"Gypsy Baron" had A♥A♣10♠6♦ and was ahead of Derwiche's J♠10♦8♣2♥ going to the river, but Derwiche spiked the 2♦ on the river to make trips as "Gypsy Baron" flung his arms in the air in frustration while Derwiche raised his own into the air in triumph after securing the title.

Level 24 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Five players went to a flop of Q♠6♦5♠ in a limped pot where Imad Derwiche bet 1,200,000 on the button.

Aaron Pahlawani and Fredrik Lindstrom folded in the blinds, while Tom-Aksel Bedell spent a few moments counting out his stack before moving all in for 1,900,000 under the gun. "Gypsy Baron" folded in the hijack, while Derwiche quickly called.

Tom-Aksel Bedell: 8♦7♣5♣4♦ All in
Imad Derwiche: 9♠9♥8♠5♥

The 4♥ turn gave Bedell a straight and left him poised for a double up, but Derwiche caught the 7♠ on the river to make a flush.

"Why does it always have to be on the river?" Bedell lamented as the defending champion had his run at a repeat end in sixth place.

Level 23 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Imad Derwiche raised to 375,000 in middle position and Lautaro Guerra moved all in for 1,300,000 on the button. Derwiche paused for a moment but eventually called to put Guerra at risk.

Lautaro Guerra: A♦Q♦J♥9♠ All in
Imad Derwiche: A♥9♥7♥7♦

The 10♣8♦2♣ flop gave both players a straight draw, but it was Derwiche who ended up making it as the board ran out 3♠6♠. Guerra, who's made the final table of this event each of the three Diamond Poker Series stops, had to settle for eighth place this time as Derwiche controlled more than half the chips in play.

Imad Derwiche 10♠9♠8♥7♣
