Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Not a good day at the office for Ali Reza Fatehi
Not a good day at the office for Ali Reza Fatehi

Ali Reza Fatehi has not had a very good afternoon so far and it just got a whole lot worse. A recently arrived Fedor Holz opened the action in this particular hand with a raise to 4,000.

If Holz’ current tournament form is anything to go by he usually doubles in the first five minutes but this is not the case here – for a change.

Dan Smith mulls things over on the button before electing to re-raise to 12,500 in total and Fatehi, sitting in the small blind, moves the last of his chips in for an all-in bet of 34,200 in total.

Holz snap folded, to a groan and a cry of ‘nooooooo!’ from Smith who slaps {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} face up on the table. Fathei tables {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and is in need of some help, which fails to arrive when the board runs out {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

Amusingly, this brings a cry of ‘nooooooooo!’ from Holz, who told Smith he just folded {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

“There’s no way you call if I shove though, right?” quizzes Smith jokingly as he stacks up his newly won chips.

For Fatehi that brings his tournament to a close as that was already his second bullet and the Iranian retires to lick his wounds.
