Oulmekki's Still Alive!

Selim Oulmekki has survived two-all in pre-flop situations to move up to two million in chips as the action continues here in the Amazon Room six-handed.

Earlier, Nemer Haddad raised all-in for 1,125,000 but found no takers before shoving the very next hand. Oulmekki re-raised all in over the top and the others got out of the way before the cards were tabled:

Haddad: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}
Oulmekki: {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

A short time later, Oulmekki shoved again, this time with {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, but found himself in strife against Andy Philachack who called with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. The flop of {2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs} helped nobody, but Oulmekki's rail went crazy after the turn and river came running {J-Spades}, {J-Clubs} to double up!
