Rayhaan Fills Up on Vavilonskii; Norel Bombs the River on Ahuja
Adam Rayhaan raised to 125,000 on the button and Andrei Vavilonskii called in the big blind.
The flop came K♣9♠8♦ and Rayhaan continued for 125,000. Vavilonskii called to the 8♥ turn, where Rayhaan bet another 100,000.
Vavilonskii then raised to 275,000 and Rayhaan called. The river came the A♦ and Vavilonskii led out for 150,000.
Rayhaan spent a few minutes in the tank before emerging with a raise to 500,000. Vavilonskii gave it some thought before calling as Rayhaan turned over 9♥8♠ for a full house to win the pot.
While this hand was in progress, Eduard Norel and Ankit Ahuja were building a pot of around 2,000,000 on a completed board of 5♥6♠Q♥10♠7♥.
Norel then slid forward a bet of 1,550,000 and Ahuja went deep into the tank. "Sorry guys. I'm very close," Ahuja said as more than five minutes came off the clock.
"Take as much time as you want," tablemate Michele Guerrini told him. Ahuja eventually tossed his cards away and Norel took down the big pot without a showdown.
