Nariman Yaghmai Doubles Thru Naj Ajez

Level 23: 20,000 / 40,000 ante: 40,000
Nariman Yaghmai

On a flop of 9♥ 6♦ 4♣ , Nariman Yaghmai check-raises from 75,000 to 175,000 and Naj Ajez calls.


The 7♣ follows on the turn and Yaghmai bets 250,000. Ajez pushes all-in with the covering stack and Yaghmai instantly calls.


"Just the nine," Ajez announces and shows A♣ 9♦ . Yaghmai already has the double secured with T♥ 8♣ to make the K♠ river a formality.


"I should have raised the flop," Ajez says after paying off the double worth1,055,000.

Haoming Du Among the Recent Casualties

Level 22: 15,000 / 30,000 ante: 30,000
Haoming Du

Thi Bao An Nguyen loses her last eight blinds against Neng Zhao and moments later, there is another all-in showdown one table over.

Haoming Du moves all-in for 215,000 and Tom Maguire calls in the next seat, everyone else behind folds.

Du's A♥ T♥ are up against A♠ 9♠ and seemingly secure a double with the T♠ 8♥ 5♥ flop. But the 4♠ turn and Q♠ river provide the flush for Maguire instead.
