Azor Shoves on Khalil

On the board of {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, Antoine Abou Khalil fired 6,300 into Ran Azor. Azor made the call and the two would see the {10-Clubs} put trips on the board on the river. Khalil checked and Azor fired 26,400, an all-in bet. Khalil had 38,200 behind and thought about it for a minute before folding his hand. Azor moved up to 57,000 in chips with that pot.

If you're unfamiliar with Azor, maybe it's time you got in the know. Back in April of 2009 when Yevgeniy Timoshenko won the $25,000 WPT Championship, it was Azor who Timoshenko beat heads up. Azor took down $1,446,265 for his finish there. That is the largest (by far) score of his career, but he has had some other nice splashes in poker.

In July of 2008, Azor won a $2,000 side event at the Bellagio Cup IV for $192,945. He also took second in the ��1,500 European Championships event in 2009 for ��31,050. Azor also finished 10th in the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event at this year's WSOP, just missing out on the final table for $31,348. In total, Azor has a hefty $1,729,587 in prize money.
