Bogdanovski Doubles

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

John Bogdanovski open shoved all-in with {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and was up against the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} of Michael Oscuro.

The flop {3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} gave Bogdanovski the lead, and a river {6-} just confirmed it for good measure to secure the double-up.

Al-Maliki Left Wondering

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In a pot that was over 700,000 already, Kiavash Arbabi had bet 400,000 on a completed board of {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.
Adnan Al-Maliki counted the calling chips, going close to putting them over the line while he pondered making the call.

"Show if I fold", he said to Arbabi. Arbabi said no, he wouldn't, and Al-Maliki reluctantly folded.

Three Way All-In, Bogdanovski Takes Two Out

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In what ended as a 3-way all-in, Marc Seymour (13th) and Michael Oscuro (14th) have been eliminated.
Seymour raised with {k-}{k-}, Michael Oscuro shoved with {a-}{q-}, and Michael Bogdanovski re-shoved with {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.
There was only two aces left in the deck that Seymour had to avoid, but it dropped on the turn {3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{j-Spades} {a-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}.

Al-Maliki Told The Answer

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

With a pot size already over 1,000,000, Adnan Al-Maliki was all-in for around 1,200,000 and Kiavash Arbabi was thinking about making the call.

"Will you show if I fold", Arbabi asked, in a reversal of the situation that happened not too long ago when Al-Maliki asked Arbabi to show and he said no.

Al-Maliki said "you didn't show me, but if you tell me what you had in that other hand, I'll show".

Arbabi agreed to tell Al-Maliki and folded his hand.

Al-Maliki showed him top-pair {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} on the board of {4-Clubs}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

"Now what did you have in that other hand", said Al-Maliki. "Busted flush draw" Arbabi replied, confirming Al-Maliki's belief that he was previously bluffed off the pot. Al-Maliki scooped in the large pot but it would've been even larger if Arbabi called.
