Level 37 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Many recent pots have ended preflop with a single raise without any larger pots brewing.

In a recent hand, Jamel Ghizaoui raised to 2,500,000 from the small blind with 10♣9♠ and Omar Eljach defended his big blind with Q♣J♦.

The flop came A♥A♣A♠ and both players checked.

Ghizaoui stabbed at the pot with a 3,000,000 bet when the 7♥ fell on the turn, which got the job done as Eljach folded.

Level 37 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Jamel Ghizaoui raised to 2,600,000 on the button with K♠10♠ and found one caller in Daniel Lehmann in the big blind, who held Q♣J♦.

Lehmann check-called a 3,000,000 bet from Lehmann on the 9♣Q♥2♠ flop and both players checked on the 7♦ river.

The Q♦ completed the board and Lehmann checked once more. Ghizaoui didn't take the bait and checked back and Lehmann took down the pot with his trip queens.
