Norouzian Shoves With a 'Shoving Hand'
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Shahin Norouzian shoved for around 215,000 in the cutoff and Evagoras Evagorou flicked in the call from the big blind.
Shahin Norouzian: 9♠8♠ 
Evagoras Evagorou: 8♣8♦
Norouzian was way behind but did pick up some extra outs on the Q♦2♥10♠ flop as any jack would complete his straight. More outs arrived on the Q♣ turn as any ten would counterfeit the Snowmen of Evagorou, who was still firmly in the driving site.
However, Norouzian got his double-up on the 10♥ river as his nine played, which boosted his stack to around 440,000. A celebratory dance was performed as Norouzian raked in the pot, and he had some words to justify his shove.
"Nine-eight suited, it's a shoving hand you know. It's 2024!" he said.
