![[user80015]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
On a board of 
we found Shiva Dudani all in for his last 23,300 - which was roughly a pot-sized shove.
His lone opponent in the hand had slightly fewer chips then Dudani, and after several minutes of deliberation, he made the call for his tournament life.
Dudani tabled his 
for a flopped straight as he raked in the pot to move to 65,000 in chips while waving adieu to his opponent.

Tuan Bui Lee Doubles Up Before Break
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Tuan Bui Lee opened from early position to 1,575 and action folded to the big blind who made it 4,575. After some thought, Lee decided to move his stack of 12,975 into the middle and was met with an immediate call.
His 
was in a lot of trouble against the 
of his adversary, but Lee found help on the 
flop. The turn and 
river shipped Lee the 16,800 chip pot and gave him some momentum as they head to break.
