Sean Jazayeri almost had Bobby Poe eliminated and by the same token, dodged elimination himself in the span of two hands.

Jazayeri opened to 180,000 in the cutoff and Poe shipped for 1,960,000 out of the small blind. James Rice folded the big blind and Jazayeri called with J♣J♠. Poe turned over A♣Q♣ and promptly flopped an ace to take the lead. No jack came for Jazayeri and Poe raked in the double.

A few hands later, Jazayeri was all-in for 1,915,000 with K♦J♠ versus the 8♣8♦ of Mark Manesh. The Q♥10♥9♣ flop was about as good as Jazayeri could ask for as he hit the nuts to double.

The blinds are now up to 50,000/100,000.

Mark Manesh – 6,450,000
Bobby Poe – 4,160,000
Sean Jazayeri – 3,960,000
James Rice – 2,050,000
