Zamout Exits after Tango with Tang

Kirk Brown

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After some preflop betting, all of the chips got into the middle between Nabil Zamout and Xian Tang, with Zamout at risk.

Nabil Zamout: A♥Q♦ All in
Xian Tang: A♦8♦

Zamout was ahead going into this battle, but the flop was not kind to him as it came out 8♠8♥2♥ to give Tang trip eights for a big lead. The turn Q♠ gave him some hope, but the river was the brick 4♥ to send him to the exit.

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Anthony Swift moved all in preflop for around 40,000 and was called by Jeff Platt and Alexander White to put him at risk.

Platt and White then checked through to the river 2♠8♠5♦10♣J♣ where Platt announced a bet of 27,000. White thought about it for a good while but eventually found a fold.

Platt then tabled K♣J♠ for a rivered pair of jacks.

"Wow, that is so sick!" Swift sighed and shook his head as he tabled J♦9♦ for a missed straight draw and an inferior jack. Platt was pushed the pot to bring his stack to 400,000 while Swift made his exit.

Ironically, White moved all in the very next hand with K♥J♦ himself but could not improve against the 4♣4♠ of Michael Degroot and he too was sent to the rail.

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On the last hand of the level, Prasad Inamdar moved all in for his last 32,000 and then Francis Nguyen raised to 125,000 for a successful isolation.

Once the Tournament Director gave the players the all-clear, the hands were tabled.

Prasad Inamdar: K♥5♣ All in
Francis Nguyen: 10♠10♥

Inamdar would need some help to stay alive against Nguyen's tens, but the runout of 2♥A♦J♥J♣3♣ to send him to the rail and sent the surviving players into the money.

Alexey Laptev: A♥K♥

After an open from Gregory Gagne, Kent Washington moved all in for 93,000 and the action folded back to Gagne who quickly tossed out calling chips.

Kent Washington: 4♣4♠ All in
