Ghashayar's Aces Help Him Double
Level 28
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Claudio Di Giacomo raised to 320,000 from middle position and Candido Cappiello three-bet to 1,000,000 out of the small blind. Iman Ghashayar four-bet to 2,085,000 from the big blind, which forced a fold from Di Giacomo, but a five-bet jam by Cappiello. Ghashayar snap-called for his remaining 4,000,000 chips and the cards were flipped over.
Iman Ghashayar: A♦A♠ 
Candido Cappiello: A♣K♦
A cooler in the favor of Ghashayar, who just had to fade a brutal runout to double-up and become one of the biggest stacks in the room. The board ran out 3♥2♦10♠2♥3♦ and Ghashayar's aces hed up.
