: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Darrin Oremba opened from the cutoff, making it 105,000 to go. Action folded around to Basel Chaura in the big blind, who responded by jamming his last 515,000 chips into the middle. Oremba went into the tank but eventually made the call, taking the hand to a showdown.
Basel Chaura: 9♥9♠
Darrin Oremba: A♠9♦
The 10♥7♦8♥ flop gave both players some hope of a chop, but the 3♣ turn and 4♠ river didn’t change a thing. Chaura’s pocket nines held strong, earning him a full double and keeping his tournament hopes alive.
