Dhingra Overshoves the River

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Gautam Dhingra was facing off against one opponent. There was roughly 15,000 in the pot already and the board showed {2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{7-Spades}. Dhingra's opponent checked over to him and Dhingra moved all in. The shove was for about 30,000 effective, although both players had about the same sized stack. Dhingra's opponent dropped into the tank, agonizing over his decision. He took about a minute and a half, but eventually decided to let it go, so Dhingra was awarded the pot.

Earlier in the week, Dhingra finished 3rd in the $5,000 Challenge here at the Star Sydney and he'll look for another strong performance here in this event.

Ajez Has to See

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

With around 6,000 in the pot and the board showing {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{k-Diamonds} the player in the small blind bet out 4,000 and was waiting on Najeem Ajez to act from the big blind.

"Whenever you bet big you got it," said Ajez, contemplating his decision. The two exchanged small talk before Ajez reluctantly made the call.

Another player at the table made a comment to Ajez about the hands he plays.

"Im addicted. I have to see the cards," joked Ajez, responding to his opponent.
