Nanji Displays Her Acting Skills

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Fatima Nanji
Fatima Nanji

Fatima Nanji was heard telling a friend, "These four blinds? That's all I need... I'm going to take these and win the entire tournament!"

Nanji was first to act and after peeking at her cards, proclaimed "I'm all-in!" as she tossed in 10,000. Action folded around to the player in the cutoff who held for a moment before shrugging and tossing in calling chips. Both blinds and the button folded and they were heads up.

Cutoff: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Fatima Nanji: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The flop of {3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{q-Clubs} gave Nanji's opponent a gutshot straight draw. This made some players at the table react verbally. When the {3-Hearts} came on the turn, the table erupted as Nanji's opponent had a flush draw now as well.

The {a-Diamonds} river made the table settle down and Nanji's neighbor on her right said, "I should have known. With your speech and everything I should have known!"

Nanji flashed a large smile as she pulled in her pot.

Afik Krief was in the big blind and watched as not one but two players raised before his option.

"All-in," Krief said and he seemed surprised as both of his opponents went all in as well for less.

Afik Krief: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Opponent 1: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Opponent 2: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} to give Krief the victory and the chip lead at the table.
