Izadi Finds Flush to Survive

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Hamid Izadi
Hamid Izadi

Hamid Izadi raised to 700,000 preflop. Ben Thomas jammed all in and Izadi called off for 1,835,000.

Izadi would need some help as he had the {q-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} against the {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} of Thomas.

Help would come in the non-traditional way as the board ran out {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} to bring home runner flush on the river to swing the chips from Thomas to Izadi.

Kasabov Banters With Thomas and Doubles

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Boris Kasabov Collects Double
Boris Kasabov Collects Double

Boris Kasabov raised to 155,000 from the button and Ben Thomas three-bet to 505,000 from the small blind.

Action was back on Kasabov who confirmed the raise amount and started to engage in some talk with Thomas. The two exchanged banter about the stacks and making moves until the floor had to warn them to keep the chat to a minimum. Eventually Kasabov announced all in and Thomas called instantly.

Boris Kasabov: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Ben Thomas: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The board kept Kasabov ahead as it ran out {10-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades} to give him a big boon in chips.

Izadi Forces Thomas Out to Cut Gap

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ben Thomas Decision
Ben Thomas Decision

On the turn, the board read {q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Mahid Izadi bet about 375,000. Ben Thomas called.

The river came the {3-Spades} and Izadi bet again, this time a full-stack worth 500,000. Thomas went into the tank and thought it over.

After about a minute he said to Izadi, "You do keep trying to bluff me for some reason" and thought a while longer before folding.

"I knew you were going to fold," said Izadi, "when you call you snap-call but when you think you fold."

Another all in happened almost instantly after Brett Apter's elimination.

The flop read {5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Jeremy Eyer led jammed before being snap-called by Ben Thomas.

Eyer had top pair with the {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} but was behind the {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} overpair of Thomas.

The turn was the {k-Clubs} and the river the {2-Diamonds} to confirm Eyer's bust out in fourth place.
