Kamal's Chip Lead Continues to Grow

Level 38 : 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante

Karim-olivier Kamal has been raising nearly every hand but neither of his opponents have picked up a hand to play back at him with. Kauvsegan Ehamparam appears to be watching Chris Moorman's stack dwindle down to nearly nothing, hoping for a ladder up.

Aaron Duczak Eliminated in 4th Place ($58,000)

Level 37 : 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

The action folded to Karim-olivier Kamal in the small blind who raised to 12.5 million. Aaron Duczak was on the short stack in the big blind and pushed all in for around 160 million. Kamal quickly made the call and the cards were face up.

Karim-olivier Kamal: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Aaron Duczak: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Kamal had a stranglehold on the hand and the flop of {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} never changed anything. The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and the river landed the {7-Spades}. Kamal's pair of nines held up to eliminate Duczak in fourth place.

Level 37 : 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

Chris Moorman opened to 11.0 million from the cutoff and Alexander Lynskey moved all in for 54.0 million from the button. Karim-Olivier Kamal called the shove and Moorman folded. Both players opened their hands and Lynskey was at risk.

Karim-Olivier Kamal: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Alexander Lynskey: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The flop came down {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Kamal now needed to dodge an ace or heart to take Lynskey out of the tournament. The {2-Spades} on the turn and {8-Clubs} on the river changed nothing and Lynskey was eliminated.

Martin Jacobson

The action folded to Karim-olivier Kamal on the button who raised it up to 12.0 million. Martin Jacobson was in the big blind and three-bet to 36.0 million, only to have Kamal four-bet shove all in. Jacobson instantly called and the cards were on their backs.

Karim-olivier Kamal: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Martin Jacobson: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Jacobson was well out front with his pocket kings and looking for a big double up through the chip leader. The flop fell {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Kamal picked up the nut flush draw to go with his one overcard. The turn brought the {10-Hearts} giving Kamal the flush and Jacobson was left drawing dead to the {q-Diamonds} on the river.

Karim-Olivier Kamal moved all in from the small blind and Ryan Yu called all in with his remaining 48,500,000.

Karim-Olivier Kamal: {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Ryan Yu: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

The flop came down {j-Spades}{a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} giving Kamal two pair and leaving Yu in need of a three. The {8-Spades} on the turn and the {4-Hearts} on the river did not improve Yu's hand and Kamal took down the pot.
