Goepel Doubles Through Azulay

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Colin Eric Lovelock opened to 225,000 and Dan Goepel shipped 750,000. Yossi Azulay called and Lovelock folded.

Azulay: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Goepel: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Azulay's good fortune in preflop all ins finally ran out as the {2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{a-Hearts} board meant Goepel won with aces.

Yossi Azulay made it 250,000 to go preflop under the gun and Rob Wazwaz defended his big blind. Azulay bet 275,000 on the {6-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop when checked to, and Wazwaz slid 675,000 in. Azulay thought about a minute and moved all in and Wazwaz called off about 550,000 more.

Wazwaz: {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Azulay: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

Azulay didn't just dodge the flush draw, he made one of his own on the {6-Spades} turn and {10-Spades} river.

Lauson Doubles Through Azulay

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Travis Lauson opened for 350,000 under the gun and Yossi Azulay put him all in from the big blind for 1.18 million. Lauson snapped.

Lauson: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Azulay: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Both flopped pairs but Lauson stretched his lead on the {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop. The {6-Spades} turn was a miss for Azulay, as was the {5-Diamonds} river.

The Short Stack Life for Azulay

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Travis Lauson bet 350,000 or so on a {4-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} board and Yossi Azulay called from the button. Lauson checked the {j-Diamonds} river. Azulay slid 500,000 in after thinking awhile.

Lauson swore and thought for awhile before announcing he was all in. Azulay snap-folded. He's back to short-stacked poker, but that's where he thrived earlier in this final table.

Dan Goepel raised to 500,000 and Yossi Azulay shoved for 515,000 in the cutoff. Goepel called.

Goepel: {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Azulay: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

"This is gonna hit," Goepel said, pointing to his cards.

He was right: the {10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} board gave him a winning Broadway straight.
