Nathan Puts the Brakes on Oulmekki

Rayan Nathan has just scored a timely double-up through the highly active Selim Oulmekki to move up to almost 1.1 million in chips.

The action folded around to Nathan who raised all-in from the cutoff before Oulmekki called from the big blind, only to find that his {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades} was trailing Nathan's {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

The dealer spread the board of {2-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and with Nathan's double-up, Oulmekki is now down to less than 1.15 million.
