Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

A player from middle position raised to 1,800 and Roland Holban three-bet to 4,000 from the hijack. Action folded to Sohale Khalili who four-bet jammed for 23,100 from the big blind and only Holban called.

Sohale Khalili:
Roland Holban:

It was a classic with Khalili ahead with his made hand of ladies and the runout secured his double-up.
