Ghadamgahi Holds with Queens
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Sergei Sokharev opened to 20,000 from early position only for Parham Ghadamgahi to shove for 177,000 from middle position. Sokharev made the call to Ghadamgahi at risk.
Parham Ghadamgahi: Q♦Q♠ 
Sergei Sokharev: 7♦7♠
Ghadamgahi was in excellent shape to double up with the bigger pocket pair and did just that when his queens held on the 6♦6♠9♥3♦A♦ runout.
Elsewhere in the tournament area, Aleksandar Tot and Jakub Michalak were recently eliminated.
