Haddad Rues His Luck as Tsimmerman Doubles
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Roland Haddad raised to 35,000 under the gun before Giora Tsimmerman moved all in for 171,000 in the cutoff. Haddad received a warning from the dealer after checking his phone while tanking, then he called to put Tsimmerman at risk.
Giora Tsimmerman: A♦A♠ 
Roland Haddad: A♥J♥
"Just my luck. Every time," Haddad said ruefully after Tsimmerman turned over two aces. The J♠6♣4♥ flop gave him some hope with top pair, while the 9♥ turn gave him a flush draw. The 4♣ river was safe for Tsimmerman and he earned the double up.
