Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Nariman Yaghmai opened the pot for 80,000 before Arie Kliper three-bet to 240,000 in the hijack. Ryan Mandara, on the button, then moved all in for around 1,100,000 and Yaghmai snap-called.

Kliper spent about a minute in the tank before he got out of the way as Mandara turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. Yaghmai had {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and stood up from the table with his backpack on as the dealer spread the {9-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{a-Spades} board.

Mandara finished with a full house to send Yaghmai to the rail. Kliper admitted after the hand he folded ace-king. "I figured one of you had aces, so I had to fold," he said.
