Williams Doubles Again Thru Azizi

Livello 43 : Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante

Bamshad Azizi moved all in from the small blind and after some serious thought, Taylor Williams decided to call it off from the big blind to put himself at risk.

Taylor Williams: J♥9♠ All in
Bamshad Azizi: K♦4♣

Williams needed some help to survive against the superior holding of Azizi, but the flop of 2♥6♣9♥ gave him the lead with top pair.

"King!" someone on the rail yelled, but the runout of 10♥7♥ only improved Williams to a flush to scoop the pot.

"No king here!" Williams yelled back as he began to stack his new chips.

Livello 42 : Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante

Short-stacked Taylor Williams moved all in preflop and was called by Bamshad Azizi to put him at risk.

Taylor Williams: A♣Q♥ All in
Bamshad Azizi: A♦5♣

"Agh... I need a five or diamond!" Azizi yelled at his rail when he realized he was in bad shape.

The flop of 9♦7♦K♦ gave him exactly what he wanted for a good sweat as he could now hit any diamond along with a five to score the knockout. Fortunately for Williams, who was holding his breath, the runout came 8♠J♥ to award hi the double, which he celebrated with a emphatic fist pump.
