Ghobadi Backdoors into the Winner
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
From the hijack, Faraz Ghobadi three-bet shoved for 22,000 after Azaan Nagra had opened from middle position. When it got back to Nagra he called to put Ghobadi at risk.
Faraz Ghobadi: A♠9♠ 
Azaan Nagra: A♦10♣
Ghobadi was in a lot of trouble and wasn't helped by the 10♠J♦2♣ flop, as Nagra improved to a pair of tens. The 7♠ turn gave Ghobadi a flush draw, which he managed to spike on the K♠ river, and he doubled up.
