Di Blasi and Khader Split

Maxime Taldir

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Moments after the restart, the two biggest stacks Aschraf Khader in the cutoff and Lorenzo Di Blasi on the button put all their chips in the middle.

Aschraf Khader: A♣J♣ All in
Lorenzo Di Blasi: A♠J♥

Khader was hoping for clubs, but the flop of 4♠3♠2♠ was full of spades to give a flush draw to Di Blasi. "Not like this," he said while shaking his head. But the 4♥2♦ was safe so Khader took his chips back.

Aschraf Khader	6,260,000 310,000	310,000

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 10♦2♦9♠, Fabio Peluso in the big blind found himself at risk for a little bit more than 2,000,000 against Lorenzo Di Blasi in the small blind.

Fabio Peluso: K♥K♣ All in
Lorenzo Di Blasi: J♦7♦

Peluso had kings against "a combo draw". But Di Blasi's flush came with the 6♦ on the turn, so Peluso was eliminated after the river 7♥.
