Hazan Has It
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Brett Shaffer raised to 165,000 from middle position. Ryan Leng called. Mordechai Hazan raised all in for 290,000 on the button, Michael Banayan called and Shaffer folded. Ryan Leng re-shoved all in for 1,500,000 and Banayan folded. There were two players heading to the flop with one player at risk for his tournament life.
Mordechai Hazan: K♣Q♣
Ryan Leng: 6♠6♦
Hazan flopped two pair on Q♠4♠K♦ taking a commanding lead before the turn.
As the 3♠ hit the felt, Leng picked up a flush draw on the turn looking for any spade that wasn't a king.
Conclusively, the river card 10♣ came and Hazan doubled up shortly before the dinner break.
