Ryan Lashmar

Level 15 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 10♥7♥3♦8♠ and roughly 70,000 already in the middle, Armin Rezaei bet 100,000 from the cutoff and Kelvin Kerber called from the button.

On the 9♦ river Rezaei moved all in, covering Kerber who had roughly 240,000 behind. Kerber opted to fold and Rezaei took down a nice pot without showdown.

Rezaei has been leveraging his big stack to his advantage for the past hour while players have been on the money bubble, taking down many pots without showdown to build what is currently the biggest chip stack in the room by a wide margin.

Player	Chips	Progress
Armin Rezaei	1,410,000 878,000	878,000
Kelvin Kerber	236,000
