Hands #9-11: Hammoud Shoves Wearing Raymer's Sunglasses
Hand #9: Mario Boos A♣J♣ opened to 3,000,000 from the hijack and won the blinds and antes.
Hand #10: It folded around to Rami Hammoud in the small blind. "It's time to channel the spirit of Greg Raymer," he said, before putting on his sunglasses and shoving with J♠5♣. Evagoros Evagorou folded 9♦7♦ in the big blind.
"Are they his sunglasses?" someone asked at the table.
"They are! I reached out to Greg [Raymer]." said Hammoud. "I wanted to wear those sunglasses. So I said to him, 'I busted you, I wanted to pay respects. I couldn't find them.'"
"And Greg replied that he had a couple if I want [some]."
Hand #11: Lauri Saaskilahti raised to 3,000,000 with A♥8♥ from under the gun. Lucas Jumalon Q♣10♦ defended his big blind.
The flop came K♦5♦4♠ and Jumalon checked. Saaskilahti continued for 2,000,000 and Jumalon called.
The turn was the 2♠ and Jumalon check-folded to another bet of 6,000,000.
