Ollie Garland

Level 14 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Hossein Ensan raised to 5,500 from under the gun, receiving calls from the players in middle position, the cutoff and the button. Jovan Kenjic, in the small blind, squeezed by moving all in for 106,000. Ensan called off the bet for his effective stack of approximately 36,000 and the remaining players in the hand folded.

Hossein Ensan: A♦Q♠ All in
Jovan Kenjic: K♠Q♥

Ensan had Kenjic dominated, but the K♦Q♦5♥ flop gave Kenjic two pair. The K♣ turn and 6♠ river saw Ensan's chances of a double-up reduce to zero and he was sent to the rail.
