HomeWe are now down to 4 players with Razavi in the chip lead with around 1.3M chips.
After Antonio Angeles raised to 70K, Piyush Gupta moved all in for a total of 190K. Angeles called and it was a showdown.

Julian Hasse got all his 180K chips in the middle and Sam Razavi called.
Hasse: K♣ 8♥
Razavi: 6♣ 6♥
With the board running A♠ 5♥ 8♦ A♥ Q♥, Hasse’s gamble was good for a double up.
Sam Razavi takes his chips back and more from Antonio Angeles in a hand that started with him raising to 50K and Angeles calling. At the flop of K♠ 8♦ 5♣, Razavi checked to Angeles who bet 25K.

Angeles called again. Then on the river of 7♥, Razavi shoved with 342K total. Angeles called again and saw the painful blow when Razavi opened up 8♣ 8♠ for a set against the A♦ A♠ of Angeles.

Sam Razavi came back with another claim to a pot. He called a raise by Gerard Bringley of 50K and both went to see a board run Q♠ 6♣ 8♠. Both players checked and the dealer burned a 9♠ on the turn. Once again both checked, then on the river of J♣, action was nil and Bringley mucked while showing an ace when Razavi showed his 2♣ 2♦.
Sam Razavi limped in and Antonio Angeles raised to 50K to see a flop land 10♣ 6♠ 3♠. Razavi checked, Angeles checked, and off to the turn they went to see the 2♦land on the board.
