Seyed Fazeli raised to 58,000 from the Lo-jack. From the Hi-jack, Philippe Dhondt moved all in for 244,000. When action came to Mohamed Bajjadi in the Big Blind, he went all in for 225,000. Fazeli folded; Dhondt and Bajjadi went to a showdown.
Philippe Dhondt: A♥A♣
Mohamed Bajjadi: J♠J♣
A brutal cooler for Bajjadi, and the 9♣Q♦3♦3♣6♠ runout offered him little consolation. By the finest of margins, he was eliminated, and Dhondt now has a stack with great playability.
Philippe Dhondt: 528,000
Mohamed Bajjadi: 0
