Namazi Picks His Spots; Every One Of Them

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

It would be fair to say that Abbas Namazi has never seen a hand he doesn't like. That is to say, he plays a lot of them. Possibly all of them.

That strategy worked to perfection yesterday, until it didn't. Namazi built it up to 100,000 in the early levels, rarely finding a reason to fold. But by 10 p.m., it was all gone.

He's back at it today and his go-for-broke, any-two style was on display moments ago as he dipped to around 10,000, and just as quickly, rose back up over the starting stack of 20,000.

Highlights included a three-hand spurt where he was seen shoving on a {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop in a raised pot three ways, picking off one foe who shoved {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} on an {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} board with the {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, then check-calling two streets before firing away on the river of a {q-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board to take a third pot down.
