Brahim Survives Two All-Ins

Level 8 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Michael Brahim was all-in pre-flop versus Vincent Huang.

Brahim: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
Huang: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The flop came {10-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} to put Brahim ahead and the turn {5-Clubs} improved him to two-pair so Huang was drawing dead before the river {9-Clubs}.

Shortly after, Brahim doubled again with pocket fives versus Craig Blight's pocket kings after calling a 3-bet pre-flop. After the board ran out {4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Spades} {3-Hearts} {8-Hearts}, Brahim doubles up again.

Hussani Knocks Out Gerges

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Meerwais Hussani opened the button and Kyrillios Gerges shoved 40,000 all-in. Meerwais called.

Gerges: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Meerwais: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{j-Diamonds} putting Meerwais ahead with a pair of jacks, and the {j-Spades} turn almost sealed the deal, leaving Gerges with a gutshot, but the river {10-Diamonds} was no help to him, sending him to the rail.

Strawberries All-In

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Patrick "Strawberries" Camilleri called a 3-bet pre-flop and 70,000 went in on the flop of all clubs {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, against Harry Basle's pocket aces.

Camillieri: {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Basle: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Unfortunately neither of the aces was a club, as the {9-Clubs} came on the river, so Camilleri survived.

Brahim Versus Forrester

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Brahim was all-in pre-flop for 150,000 holding pocket kings versus Barry Forrester's pocket deuces.

The board ran out {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} {k-Hearts} {10-Hearts}, and Brahim doubled yet again. Brahim has now gone from 20,000 to 400,000 in the past two levels.
