Hala Karam

Majid Ejlal Noubarian raised to 3,000 and received three callers including Hala Karam. Mitchell Hynam in the big blind squeezed to 20,000 and that won the pot.

One hand later, Hosseini jammed for the last 29,000 on the button and Hynam went all-in over the top.

"The first card was good," the big blind exclaimed and folded the {k-Clubs} face up.

Hala Karam: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Mitchell Hynam: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Karam vaulted out of her chair and then celebrated when she flopped trips on {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. "No king please," she demanded and that wish was granted with the {2-Hearts} turn and {q-Diamonds} river runout.

Cirillo and Guichard Chop Three Way All In

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Paul Guichard
Paul Guichard

Following a raise and reraise, three players found themselves all in preflop.

Federico Cirillo: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Paul Guichard: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Nasrodin Pirmamod: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Both Cirillo and Guichard were at risk and looking in bad shape holding each other's outs. Primamod had the bigger stack and the better odds as board cards were dealt {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

The flop brought Cirillo and Guichard a pair of aces and they chopped up the pot as Pirmamod lost a chunk of his stack.

"That's insane," said neutral opponent Alon Eldar, "I folded a lot of your outs."
