Careful What You Wish For
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mehdi Namazi was short-stacked and all-in from under the gun. He was up against Mykhailo Lendel, who covered him from the cutoff.
Mehdi Namazi: A♠5♣
Mykhailo Lendel: Q♠10♠
The flop came Q♥J♣K♥, giving Lendel second pair for the lead, while Namazi had a gutshot to Broadway.
"Give him that two pair," Namazi requested, before the 10♦ turn did just that, improving Lendel to two pair and Namazi to the Broadway straight. The Q♦ river further improved Lendel to a full house, and Namazi was sent to the rail.
