Yaghmai Wins a Crucial Race; Graham Left With Dust
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Luke Graham jammed for around 1,650,000 from the hijack and Nariman Yaghmai called for his stack of 1,500,000 in the cutoff. Once the remaining players folded, the cards were tabled.
Nariman Yaghmai: A♠10♥
Luke Graham: 5♦5♣
It was a flip for Yaghmai's tournament life, and one that would have left Graham on fumes had he lost.
Yaghmai vaulted into the lead on the 8♠10♠7♥ flop with top pair. The rest of the board ran out Q♣4♦ and Yaghmai doubled up to around 3,500,000.
