Sibaei Gets a Shove Through
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
For two hands in a row, Nektarios Dimitrakis raised to 400,000. He won the blinds in the first attempt and then faced the button shove by Naz Sibaei for around 2.1 million. Dimitrakis used two time banks without asking for an exact count and then folded.
Joe Hachem raised to 360,000 from the small blind next, Dimitrakis defended the big blind to the Q♠9♠2♣ flop. Hachem bet 200,000 to force out his opponent as Dimitrakis folded the 5♥5♠ face-up.
"How did I fade that one?" Hachem grinned on the table of pocket fives this evening.
