Kashani Back in Front
Level 36
: Blinds 200,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Arian Kashani opened from the button to 1,000,000 and Philip Joyce shoved from the big blind. Kashani snap-called for his stack 10,325,000.
Arian Kashani: 5?5? 
Philip Joyce: 3?3?
Kashani was in the lead, but if Joyce could find a three, he would be the champion.
The flop of 7?2?7? offered no help to Joyce, and neither did the Q? turn. Only a three would prevent Kashani from doubling up, but instead the 10? filled out the board, which gave Kashani back the chip lead.
