Afshin Afsharorumieh: 
Alahwal needed to have his aces hold up against Afsharorumieh's flush draw to avoid elimination and improved to a set on the

on the river was safe and Alahwal doubled up during the first level of the day.
"I had no choice. I didn't want to see a turn," Alahwal said following the hand.
