Ryan Lashmar

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 6♦A♥J♥5♣ and 200,000 in the middle, Oksana Kuzniche bet 150,000 from the big blind and was called by Senthuran Vijayaratnam in the hijack.

On the 5♦ river Kuzniche bet 150,000, leaving about 140,000 behind. Vijayaratnam once again made the call.

Kuzniche showed A♠4♥ for a weak ace while Vijayaratnam tabled A♣K♦ for the biggest ace to take a massive pot. Kuzniche was left with roughly ten big blinds and would lose a flip with pocket sixes against Vijayaratnam's king-nine shortly afterwards.

Nakhle Wins Massive Pot But Loses a Friend

Ryan Lashmar

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a preflop confrontation, Patrick Atallah was all in preflop for roughly 375,000 and up against Paul Nakhle who had him covered.

Patrick Atallah: K♥K♠ All in
Paul Nakhle: A♠A♦

It was the ultimate cooler for Atallah who had run into pocket aces holding pocket kings. The A♣A♥6♦ flop gave Nakhle quads leaving Atallah drawing dead as the rest of the board ran out J♦2♣.

"Easy game" a player at the table commented after the board ran out. Nakhle mentioned that Atallah was his friend and the latter player joked that they might not be friends anymore as he left the tournament area while Nakhle dragged in a colossal pot.
