Chilaud Out-Flips Ilani; Margolin Wins Big Without a Showdown

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Maxime Chilaud
Maxime Chilaud

Maxime Chilaud raised to 50,000 from middle position before Ran Ilani, next to act, shoved for around 300,000. Chilaud called to put him at risk.

Ran Ilani: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Maxime Chilaud: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Chilaud hit a pair on the {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, and Ilani got no help from the {3-Hearts}{8-Clubs} runout as the Israeli pro was sent to the rail.

At the same time at another table, Timur Margolin and John Doe were on the river on a board of {9-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Doe bet 225,000 from the big blind and Margolin, after tanking for a few minutes, called.

Doe immediately threw his cards into the muck and Margolin collected the big pot without a showdown.
