Not Much Action

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

- Joseph Nassar has shoved all in twice from the under-the-gun position but didn't get any callers up till now.

Paul has shoved twice and during the second time, the following happened:

Paul shoved all in from the cutoff for about 1,600,000. Rony Halimi, in the big blind, went into the tank. He asked the dealer how much it was for. The dealer started counting but Halimi told him he could stop once he saw it was a bit more than 1,500,000.

"I have a pair." Halimi said and got up. Another 30 seconds or so later he asked the floor if he was allowed to talk about his hand. As they were heads-up, the floor confirmed he could speech play.

"I have a pair of nines." Halimi then said, trying to get a response from Paul. "I put you on ace-king or ace-queen. For 1,500,000 you wouldn't do this with pocket eights or sevens. It's 20 big blinds, I really think you have ace-king."

Paul still didn't respond in any way. Halimi folded.

Nassar Doubles Through Shabalin

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Joseph Nassar shoved all in for 565,000 in total from the button. Rony Halimi quickly folded but Vladimir Shabalin asked for a count. The dealer did just that and confirmed the amount. Shabalin called.

Joseph Nassar: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Vladimir Shabalin: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} - even though there was a full house on the board, with the pocket nines of Nassar, Nasser had the better hand and earned the double-up.
