Nawabi Climbing but Wary of Dzivielevski
Yosif Nawabi raised to 20,000 and received calls by Matthew Rosen on the button and Ryan Leng in the big blind.
Leng took two, Nawabi stood pat, and Rosen drew one. Leng checked and Nawabi bet out 30,000. Only Rosen called.
"Nine-eight," Nawabi announced and Rosen mucked.
Despite sitting on a big stack himself, Nawabi's focus is on Yuri Dzivielevski sitting next to him, particularly his knockout of George Danzer.
"He's too good. There is no way you could beat him," he said of his Brazilian tablemate. "That man is a professional player and he did that to him. There is no way you're drawing live against him."
"Put me against the next five best players, please," Nawabi pleaded.
Leng was left with around 15,000 chips and was eliminated the next hand.
