Naim Outkicks Aouraghe For a Big Double; Sfarlea Doubles Again
Gal Naim raised to 325,000 under the gun and Hicham Aouraghe called in the big blind.
The flop came J♥7♥8♦ and Naim bet 275,000. Aouraghe then raised to 700,000 and Naim moved all in for 3,220,000. Aouraghe took a minute to confirm the amount before calling.
Gal Naim: K♦J♦ 
Hicham Aouraghe: J♠10♥
Both players had flopped top pair, but Naim was ahead with his king-kicker. The turn was the 7♣, while the 3♥ fell on the river to secure his double up as Aouraghe stormed away from the table.
At another table, Dan Sfarlea had opened to 330,000 in the hijack before Dimitrios Michailidis shoved from the small blind. Sfarlea called for 3,800,000.
Dan Sfarlea: A♣Q♥
Dimitrios Michailidis: 9♥9♦
Sfarlea took the lead on the A♠J♣2♠ flop with a pair of aces, then improved to two pair on the Q♣ turn. The river was the 3♥ and Sfarlea doubled up.
