Championship Day 3: Wazwaz Next Out

Level 24: 12,000/24,000/4,000 Ante

Rajee Wazwaz didn’t spend much time at his table after the redraw, he was moved after the quick drop of Nenad Medic to balance tables.

His spot at the new table ended when Jusin Zaki called his all-in move to put his at risk. Wazwaz needed his 7d7h to hold against AcKc but it started going south on the Jc8c6h flop giving Zaki flush outs to his over-cards. The 5c turn left Wazwaz drawing dead to a 25th place finish for $14,789.

Championship Day 3: Babakhani Aced

Level 23: 10,000/20,000/3,000 Ante

Amir Babakhani’s short reprieve has been cancelled. He moved up a couple spots, but not payouts, after his runner-runner flush. Babakhani’s tournament ended when he ran his 9d9h straight into Andy Philachack’s AsAd after limping in pre-flop.

The board ran out a harmless Ks4c2h3d7c to send him out in 31st while Philachack moved to 1,600,000.

Championship Day 3: Babakhani Goes Running

Amir Babakhani knew he was in trouble. He moved all-in for 249,000 after a min-raise open from David Nowling and call from Kareem Marshall.

Nowling let his hand go but Marshall called the shove after a short tank. Babakhani groaned when he was caught making a move with Qs8s and he needed help against AdJs. The 7s4c3h flop did little to help but the 4s was the next step. Babakhani completed the runner-runner double on the Ts river to stack himself back over 500,000
