Ran Ilani Comes Back From Near Elimination
Ran Ilani was almost eliminated during level 2 yesterday after an all in call on the flop with king queen. His opponent had pocket kings with a king and a queen on the flop. Ilani was walking away from the table when they called him back and told him he still had some chips left. He had three 100 chips left to try and rebuild with.
Ilani said that in one hand today, Mikhail Korotkikh raised to 4,000. Ilani three bet to 11,000. Korotkikh called. The flop came with two hearts. Korotkikh shoved all in for 110,000. Ilani folded face up. Korotkikh didn't show.
Seat 6 makes it 6,000 from the hijack. Ilani three bets to 19,000 from the button. Seat 6 calls. The flop comes . The hijack checks. Ilani makes it 16,500 to go. Seat 6 lays it down and Ilani wins the pot.
Ilani is currently sitting on 147,000, a far cry from what he began yesterday with. He said that maybe dreams do come true and he hopes that he can come back and win this.
