Emad Tahtouh Doubles Up Against Arul Thillai

[user24788]

Gary Benson raised 3,500 from UTG. Arul Thillai re-raised to 10,000. Emad Tahtouh moved all in from his small blind for 9,200. Benson went into the tank then folded pocket eights face up.

Tahtouh: {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

Thillai:

{A-Spades}

{4-Spades}

The flop was {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

. The turn was the {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

. The river was the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

and Gary Benson let out a big sigh. Had he called that hand, he would have busted Tahtouh and possibly doubled through Thillai. As is, Tahtouh won the hand and doubled up to over 20,000.
