Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Somar Al-Darwich Loses a Big Pot
Somar Al-Darwich Loses a Big Pot

The action started with Somar Al-Darwich opening to 50,000 from under the gun plus one. Bryan Pellegrino made the call from middle position, as did Roberto Damelian on the button.

The flop came down {9-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs}, and Al-Darwich threw out a continuation bet of 83,000. Pellegrino opted to fold, before Damelian made the call.

The {10-Diamonds} fell on the turn, and Al-Darwich checked. Damelian then reached for his chips, and bet out 125,000. Al-Darwich thought for a moment, before raising it up to 258,000. Damelian cut out several different amounts of stacks, and thought about his decision for a minute as well. He finally bumped it up to 500,000. Al-Darwich paused for a moment, before announcing all in, for more than two million in chips.

The bet had Damelian covered, and he tanked for over a minute, before making the call.

Al-Darwich: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Damelian: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Damelian had turned trip tens, but his opponent had made a full house. He needed any ace or ten on the river to win the hand, and that’s just what he received. The {a-Hearts} completed the board, sending Damelian out of his chair to celebrate with his rail, as Al-Darwich went for a walk around the empty Amazon floor.
