Shaw Shoves The River; Leaves Lahmani Short

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.

Shaw check-called a 135,000 bet from Lamani on the 7♣3♠3♦ flop and then both players checked on the 5♣ turn.

Shaw checked once more when the 9♥ completed the board and Lahmani overbet the pot for 950,000. Shaw then shoved, which was enough to put Lahmani all in for his last 625,000.

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.

Koplimaa Shoves the First Hand

David Salituro

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

On the first hand of Day 6, Oshri Lahmani opened to 160,000 in the cutoff before Markku Koplimaa moved all in from the small blind.

The dealer initially miscounted Koplimaa's stack and Lahmani went to muck his hand until a recount confirmed the amount of 1,460,000. Lahmani then thought about the decision for an additional few seconds and mucked again.

"It's early in the morning," Robin Ylitalo consoled the dealer, who apologized to the table.

A few hands later, Lahmani raised again to 160,000 and Mohamad El Rais defended his big blind. The flop came 3♠Q♦4♠ and Lahmani won the pot with a bet of 180,000, getting on the board for the day.

Oshri Lahmani	3,100,000 30,000	30,000
