Jumalon Takes From Evagorou

Christian Zetzsche

Level 39 : Blinds 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

In the second hand of the unofficial final table, Evagoras Evagorou limped the small blind and Lucas Jumalon checked from the big blind.

They checked the 5♥4♦3♣ flop to the 4♣ turn, on which Evagorou check-raised from 3,000,000 to 9,500,000. Jumalon called, and there were some gasps from the rail when the 4♠ came on the river.

Both slowed down and checked. Evagorou tabled his K♣J♣ for a missed flush draw and Jumalon won the pot with the 3♥2♦ for a full house.

One Last Pot to Hammoud

Level 39 : Blinds 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

Rami Hammoud A♣9♥ raised to 3,000,000 and then folded when massive chip leader Lucas Jumalon Q♣6♦ reraised to 10,500,000, prompting massive cheers from Jumalon's boisterous rail.

Michael Gagliano K♥J♣ then min-raised to 3,000,000 and took down the blinds.

Jumalon raised to 3,000,000 next for Gagliano to defend the A♥9♣5♥ flop, on which Gagliano check-called for 1,500,000 before then folding on a later street.

Jumalon raised to 3,000,000 next to steal the blinds and continued to increase his overall lead on the unofficial final table bubble.

In a rare hand not involving the run-away chip leader, Hammoud limped into the big blind of Greg Mueller and they headed to the K♦J♦6♥ flop, on which both players checked after they heard the roar of an all-in and call on the other table.

They invested one big blind on the 8♦ turn before checking the 5♥ river. Hammoud had the J♥8♣ for two pair to win the pot.
