Level 31 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Justin Booth jammed under the gun as he announced, "Only 3,175,000 and I definitely want a call."

The action folded around to Rami Hammoud in the cutoff as he moved all-in as well, forcing the rest of the players out of the pot.

'Nice hand," Booth said before the cards were tabled.

Justin Booth: A♣J♣ All in
Rami Hammoud: A♦Q♠

"Yep, that's exactly the hand I thought you had."

Booth was dominated and was unable to pull ahead as the dealer ran out the K♥K♦2♠A♠10♠ board.
