Jomeen Racing For His Life
Under the gun, Karim Jomeen open-shoved all in for 68,000. Paul Pitchford re-shoved all in, isolating himself against Jomeen with a chance at the knockout. And it was a race:
Jomeen:
Pitchford:
Jomeen would be a big fan of the board, as it saved his tournament life. It came to keep him afloat, doubling him up to 157,000. Pitchford, on the other hand, is in quite a bad way with just 60,000 left.
On the next hand, Jeppe Bisgaard raised to 27,000 and Mehdi Senhaji called in position. Jomeen was in the small blind with new chips, and he squeezed all in over the top. That garnered two quick folds, further boosting Jomeen up to about 225,000.
