Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Abdullah Faiz was all in preflop when the 7♠4♠6♣ appeared in a bloated pot.

Farid Jattin placed a large wager of 361,000 and Satar Al-Sadoun called, adding to a large side pot.

The turn peeled the 5♥ and Jattin put the rest of his chips in the middle. Al-Sadoun quickly called.

Abdullah Faiz: K♠J♥10♣7♥
Farid Jattin: K♣K♦8♥2♥
Satar Al-Sadoun: A♠2♠3♦2♦

Al-Sadoun had turned the little straight and had the nut flush redraw, which had both his opponents drawing dead, making the J♦ that fell on the river inconsequential. Al-Sadoun is now leading the field.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu raised preflop from late position and got two callers.

The flop fell Q♦J♦5♦.

Action folded to Negreanu, who bet 30,000 and received two swift folds. It was a modest pot, won without fuss, but Negreanu is moving in the right direction.
