Ekrami Back With a Vengeance; Busts Thurlow

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Kamyar Ekrami
Kamyar Ekrami

Kamyar Ekrami made a stylish late entrance, though 2018 PLO runner-up Ben Thurlow probably wishes he hadn't. Ekrami was in the big blind for his first hand of the day

Thurlow was the man driving the action with a pre-flop raise to 6,000 and the freshly arrived Ekrami made the call to take the action heads-up to a {2-Spades}{a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop.

This is when all the chips went in; Ekrami checked it over to Thurlow, who continuation bet 9,000. Ekrami busted out the check-raise to 21,000, Thurlow shoved and Ekrami called immediately.

Ben Thurlow: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Kamyar Ekrami: {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

Ekrami had flopped the straight and had Thurlow covered and with the {5-Hearts} turn and {9-Clubs} river not changing this fact, Thurlow hit the rail and Ekrami stacked up to over 350,000
