Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Maroun Jazzar raised all in from early position as action folded around to Edgard Raffoul, who called for his last 1,300,000.

Edgard Raffoul: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Maroun Jazzar: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The {6-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{a-Spades} flop gave Raffoul top pair and the lead in the hand. "I'm a believer," Jazzar said as the {8-Spades} fell on the turn.

Jazzar pointed out that he thought it was a nine. "It's black," Raffoul reminded him. The river was the {4-Spades} and Raffoul doubled up.

Left with just 125,000, Jazzar was forced all in from the big blind a few hands later and was up against Serge Matta.

Maroun Jazzar: {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Serge Matta: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Matta's two pair, jacks and kings, were enough to beat Jazzar's kings and nines and send him to the rail.
