Action was caught with 40,000 in the pot and Argery Argyrou, in the big blind, put in a bet of 15,000 on a {a-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{q-Spades} board.

Stefan Drusca went deep into the tank and, after a couple of minutes, the floor was called. Drusca was given his 30 seconds to make a decision and flicked in three blue T-5000 chips after about 10 seconds.

Argyrou folded face down and Drusca scooped the pot without showing his cards. "I had king high. If I had a jack I snap-call."

Chaoui Wins Two Big Pots in a Row

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

There was 40,000 in the pot as the board read {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. A player in early position checked to Mehdi Chaoui on the button who bet 2,000. His opponent moved all in for 36,000 effective and Chaoui snap called. Chaoui showed {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} for two pair which was enough to take down the pot.

The very next hand Chaoui raised to 4,000 from the cutoff and was called by both blinds.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} and action checked to Chaoui who bet 6,000. Only the small blind called.

The {2-Hearts} was the turn and Chaoui bet 21,000 when checked to. The small blind moved all in for 70,000 and Chaoui snap called.

Small Blind: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Mehdi Chaoui: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Chaoui was ahead of his opponents pocket aces as he had flop two pair. The river was a brick which sent the small blind home and moved Chaoui from small stack to big stack within two hands.
