Emotional Ride for Ismail

[user67765]

It's been an emotional few minutes for Ismail Ismail. First he found himself all in holding {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

against the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

of chip leader Christian Heich.

Not a bad position to be in for Ismail, that is, until the community cards landed {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

to make Heich a straight. However remarkably the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

fell on the river to give Ismail a straight as well and both players chopped it up!

The two tangled again a few hands later, with Heich taking {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{8-Spades}

into battle against Ismail's {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

. This time Ismail was able to hang on as the board was spread {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

.

Ismail doubles up to 146,000 with Heich falling back to 365,000.
