Selami is Cooked

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Alexander Yen opened to 300,000 from under the gun before Christopher Selami went all-in for 1,550,000 from the small blind. Yen took his time before he made the call to put Selami at risk.

Christopher Selami: J♦J♠All in
Alexander Yen: K♥Q♠

Selami was ahead with five cards to go, but he needed to fade the overcards of Yen.

The 4♦10♥A♠ flop gave Yen additional outs, as now Selami did not want to see his jack.

Selami stayed ahead on the 2♠ river, but the river was cruel when the J♥ peeled to give Selami a set and Yen the nuts.
