A Chip and a Chair for Rizvi
Level 30
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Alexandre Blanc opened to 300,000 from under the gun with Q♦J♣ into the big blind of short stack Alexander Rizvi, who defended the Q♣5♣ with fewer than a big blind behind. On the J♥6♠3♥ flop, Rizvi had to fold to be left with a miracle.
He was then all-in for the last 125,000 with K♠8♠ from the small blind against Blanc's A♥Q♠ in the big blind. The J♠8♦8♣K♣4♠ board gave the Brit a double to just shy of three big blinds.
