Philip Hollederer moves all in for around 300,000 on the button, Jan van der Stroom reshoves for 400,000 in the small blind, and Matin Talebi calls in the big blind.

Both Hollederer and van der Stroom need help against Talebi’s jacks, but the board comes to keep Talebi in the lead and send the defending champion and van der Stroom to the rail.

“See? Easy game,” Talebi says.

“I learn from the best,” Denis Karakashi replies.

“I deserve some easy hands,” Talebi adds.
