Patrick Cole

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

David Djian moved in from the cutoff for 935,000. Action was on Joachim Meisolle on the button who was deep in the tank. He shuffled his chips and moved them around for a minute before making the call.

David Djian: J♥J♦ All in
Joachim Meisolle: 10♠10♦

The 6♦A♦8♦ flop was good for Djian as his jack of diamonds gave him a superior flush draw. However the 10♥ turn gave Meisolle a set but Djian still had outs. The 4♠ confirmed his exit from the tournament and Meisolle chipped up.

Jamie Dwan moved all in for roughly 1,000,000 from early position, Jun Beum Chun re-shoved from middle position for a bit more and Taram Parmar, who covered Chun slightly, re-shoved from the cutoff, folding out all other players to leave both Dwan and Chun at risk.

Jamie Dwan: 7♣7♥ All in
Jun Beum Chun: 8♠8♥ All in
Taram Parmar: A♥K♣

Chun was in the lead with his pair of eights on the 5♦Q♥3♦ flop and remained ahead on the 2♠ turn but the K♠ river gave Parmar top pair to score the double knockout and drag in a colossal pot.

Double For Dwan

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Patrick Cole

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jamie Dwan moved all in from the cutoff for 410,000. Action folded around to Taran Parmar in the big blind.

"It's always my big blind, are you picking on me?" he said to Dwan, who replied with silence. Parmar added, "I don't know what to do, this is the third time you move all in against my big blind."

Mathieu Di Meglio decided to call the clock and 30 seconds of time was given. Parmar put in the call after a few minutes, including the time given on the clock. Dwan had not moved a muscle and seemed to be undeterred.

Jamie Dwan: 8♠8♦ All in
Taran Parmar: J♦9♦

The A♥3♣5♦ flop was good for Dwan but provided Parmar with a backdoor flush draw. However he held through the Q♥ turn and K♥ river.

Dwan said after the hand "I've not been picking on you, every time you have been in the big blind I have happened to have a hand."
