We witnessed a hand on table #31. When we arrived at the table, Diana Shamshoum was deep in thought. She was facing a considerable all-in from Saman Saryazdi. Diana was obviously undecided, giving the distinct impression that her hand was not very strong. Nevertheless, she decided to call and tabled her hand:

The 
flop didn’t help either player. Now Saman only needed to dodge jacks, fours, two consecutive hearts or an Ace-three combo. When the 
on the turn was exposed, Saman sighed and started to get up. With no help from the 
on the river, he was sent to the rail.
We didn’t hear the final all-in amount but it took two separate scoops from dealer to transfer all the chips to Diana. After this hand, her stack leveled off to approximately 66K, roughly double the average.
