Zamani Consults App, Larabi Doubles

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Bernard Larabi was committed for his last 174,000 and Martin Zamani was thinking it over.

"I'll flip a coin. Who has a coin?" Zamani asked the table.

The process of looking for a coin was too slow so Larabi offered an app that would choose a winner.

"If you win, I fold. If I win, I call," Zamani said.

Zamani won the app flip and put his chips in the middle.

Bernard Larabi: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Martin Zamani: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

The board ran out {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Spades} and the jacks held to secure the double for Larabi.
