Dan O'Hair

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Oshri Lahmani opened to 220,000 from the hijack and was called by Carl Shaw in the big blind.

Lahmani went deep into the tank, using up a couple of his time extensions in the process, but eventually decided to fold and Shawn took down the large pot.
