Azim Popatia, better known as ‘Samuel’ by the poker community, fell down to around 500,000 before doubling up through Chanracy a few hands earlier. He has then managed to chip up a bit by stealing some blinds here and there, before finding another full double up just moments ago.
Kevin MacDonald was the initial raiser in the hand, as he opened to 300,000 from the button. Azim moved in from the small blind for 1,065,000, and before Jonathan had a chance to act, Kevin mucked him hand. With Kevin out of the way, Jonathan had a slightly easier decision, and made the call.

It looked like the end of Azim, as Jonathan paired the turn, but he rivered a flush on the board to bring him up to around 2.5 million.
Kevin was awarded a 10-minute penalty for his out-of-turn action.
