Rami Hammoud was crippled in the minutes leading to the final table, but has managed to not only keep his seat at the table, but to also run his stack back up into contention.
In a recent hand, action folded around to his small blind, and he open-shoved for 740,000. Tony Lei made the call from the big blind for most of his own chips, as he started the hand with roughly 1.2 million.

Rami made three-of-a-kind to run up his stack above 15 big blinds, while Tony was crippled to below 5 big blinds – although he doubled-up on the very next hand through Said Michailidis.
