Davoudzadeh Closes Gap on Lane

Livello 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Ronald Lane bet 900,000 from the button and was swiftly met with a raise of 2,500,000 from Farhad Davoudzadeh in the big blind.

The monotone flop of K♠6♠5♠ prompted Davoudzadeh to ramp up the aggression by betting 3,000,000. Lane thought about it for nearly a minute and folded. Davoudzadeh flicked over the 4♦ for some mind games with the rest of the table.

Meanwhile, Farhad Davoudzadeh has taken down several pots with aggressive raises before the flop.

Lane Applying Pressure to Smaller Stacks

Livello 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Ronald Lane bet 700,000 from the hijack and was called by Arnon Graham in the big blind. The flop came 6♦3♦2♣ and Lane made a down-bet of 500,000 which was called by Graham.

The 4♠ was dealt on the turn and Lane bet 1,300,000 which Graham called. The K♣ completed the board and both players checked. A resigned Lane said, "You're good." and tabled A♣J♠. It turned out Graham wasn't good and mucked their cards and to his surprise Lane took in the pot.

Ronald Lane	18,100,000 7,050,000	7,050,000
