Izadi Holds to Get the Knockout
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Hamid Izadi opened the action with a raise to 1,000 from the hijack, before William McCracken three-bet all in for 3,800 on the button. The small blind folded, when Scott Wise in the big blind four-bet to 8,000. Izadi then five-bet all in which got a quick fold from Wise to leave the players heads up, with McCracken at risk.
William McCracken: 6?6? 
Hamid Izadi: 9?9?
McCracken was dominated and need to improve to stay in the tournament, but once the board ran out 8?J?Q?4?7? the pocket nines of Izadi were still best, to give him the knockout.
