Michael Aron

Qasem Jamhour doubled through Michael Aron before the dinner break and the two battled again after it. They were heads up to the 7c2c2s flop with 200,000 in the pot and Jamhour in the small blind.

He put out a barrel of 24K chips, enough to cover Aron, and he called at risk.

Jamhour: Ac3c
Aron: As9s

Aron was ahead with kickers and a backdoor flush draw but needed to dodge some clubs. The Qh turn changed nothing and the 6d river sent the double back across the table. The dealer counted down Aron’s stack and it was dead on 500,000. He moved up to a more comfortable stack while Jamhour was left with a handful of bigs.

Michael Aron – 1,275,000 (43 bb)
Qasem Jamhour – 135,000 (5 bb)
