Amelipour Doubles in the Final Stretch
Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
After an open-raise to 2,700 from Yi Zhan Peng under the gun and a call from another player at the table, Ali Amelipour jammed all in from the cutoff for 60,500. The action folded back to Peng, who was the only one who made the call.
Ali Amelipour: A♦Q♣
Yi Zhan Peng: J♠J♥
Throughout the 7♣8♣3♥6♦ runout, Amelipour was begging the dealer for a queen. His wish came true when the river came the Q♠. His top pair beat the pocket jacks of Peng, and Amelipour secured a double-up in the late stages of Day 1b.
