Halabi Trips Up Ismailov; Hand-For-Hand Begins
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
With around 150,000 in the pot on a board of 4?6?9?9?, Mazen Halabi moved all in from early position as Natik Ismailov went into the tank from the small blind.
"Better for you if you fold," Halabi told him. Ismailov didn't listen and instead called for his last 90,000, showing K?J? for a flush draw. Halabi turned over K?9? for trip nines and the river came the J? to send Ismailov to the rail.
With 136 players remaining, play is going hand-for-hand until there are two more eliminations.
