Ghasan Stuns Jalba
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
After just being involved in a pot together, Eusebiu Jalba and Ibrahim Ghasan were tangling again, which resulted in them both getting their chips in preflop.
Ghasan had opened from the cutoff and Jalba three-bet the big blind to 71,000. Ghasan then four-bet to 181,000, and Jalba shoved! Ghasan had almost 500,0000 to start the hand and immediately called.
Ibrahim Ghasan: A♣A♥ 
Eusebiu Jalba: Q♥Q♠
Unfortunate timing for Jalba, who ran into aces in the early stages of the day. However, there was still a runout to sweat where anything could happen.
However, not much did happen on the K♠3♦9♦6♣K♦ runout as neither player improved, which meant Ghasan doubled up to around a million, and Jalba's stack plummeted to 70,000.
