Lucky Turtle Helps Viana Double via Arhab
Joackim Arhab opened to 12,000 from early position, and Marie Viana three-bet jammed for 112,500 from the cutoff.
Action folded back to Arhab, who pondered the spot. He had around 320,000 behind, and while he mused it over Viana picked up the all-in triangle and held it up to a friend on the rail to let him know she was risking all the biscuits.
She also had a wooden turtle card protector, and picked it up and started twirling it in her fingers while she waited for Arhab to make his decision.
Arhab, another OM fan, looked at his stack again, and had a peek at his cards for a final time, before moving a 100,000 stack into the middle.
Marie Viana: A♦J♦ 
Joackim Arhab: 9♦9♣
It was off to the races, but the jack was in the window on the J♣8♦3♣ flop, leaving Arhab on a two-outer, and Viana improved further on the J♠ turn.
Arhab could not find an unlikely escape on the 7♦ river.
