Ghojehvand Sends Phua Packing
Level 14
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Paul Phua had his stack of around 450,000 in the middle and Armin Ghojehvand put in the call.
Paul Phua: 9♦9♣ 
Armin Ghojehvand: A♥7♦
Ghojehvand seemed confident that he would win, but the J♥6♥3♦ flop didn't show any sign of that as Phua's nines kept their lead. A 7♠ on the turn did give Ghojehvand a few extra outs with a pair of sevens, but instead it was the A♦ on the river that did the trick as he improved to two pair, which eliminated Phua.
