Rezaei Doubles Up

Kai Cocklin

Level 25 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Daniel Rezaei made it 2,000,000 from under the gun, leaving himself 200,000 behind. Jamil Wakil burned through a few time banks from the big blind before he shoved, and Rezaei called.

Daniel Rezaei: A♥2♥ All in
Jamil Wakil: 10♦7♠

Rezaei's ace was in the lead, and he removed some of Wakil's outs on the 3♥3♠6♥ flop as he picked up a flush draw. The J♠ turned bricked out, and Rezaei improved to the unneeded flush on the Q♥ river to double up.

Level 25 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Manuel Fritz shoved from the small blind for 1,925,000 and Jamil Wakil called in the big blind.

Manuel Fritz: A♣4♦ All in
Jamil Wakil: Q♠J♠

Fritz was marginally ahead, but had to dodge a lot of outs on the 10♥9♠6♥ flop as Wakil picked up a straight draw. Despite all the outs, Wakil couldn't connect with the 6♦9♣ runout, which meant Fritz doubled up.

Level 24 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Jamil Wakil shoved the button for 4,925,000 and Armin Ghojehvand called from the big blind.

Jamil Wakil: A♦4♠ All in
Armin Ghojehvand: K♠K♥

Wakil was the favorite to be eliminated, and the 2♣7♠9♠ flop didn't help him. However, an A♣ on the turn propelled him into the lead. No king arrived on the J♣ river, and Wakil survived.

On the 10♣4♣Q♦ flop, Ghojehvand check-called a bet of 1,000,000 from Nicholson to see the 4♥ turn, where again he check-called a bet when Nicholson bet 2,500,000.

A 2♦ dropped on the river and after Ghojehvand checked for a third time, Nicholson bet 6,700,000. Ghojehvand needed to think for a while. but eventually did fold, forfeiting the pot to Nicholson.

David Nicholson: K♦K♣ All in
Jamil Wakil: 10♠10♦

Nicholson had woken up with kings again, and made full use of them as the 7♠A♣3♦3♣3♠ board meant he doubled up, while Wakil was left short-stacked.

Level 23 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Jamil Wakil opened the button to 800,000 and Armin Ghojehvand called from the big blind.

They saw a flop of A♣6♥4♥, where Ghojehvand checked and Wakil bet 700,000. Ghojehvand then moved all in, which gave Wakil a test for the 4,200,000 he had behind.

Wakil started thinking out loud. "If you had an ace, you'd have shoved pre. You're the chip leader, you'd apply pressure," he said. Eventually, Wakil did call.

Jamil Wakil: Q♠Q♥ All in
Armin Ghojehvand: 7♥5♠

Ghojehvand didn't have an ace, but he did have a straight draw, which meant any three or eight would end Wakil's run. However, the 2♦10♥ runout was clean for the Canadian player, and he doubled up.
