Abdellatif Breaks the 400,000 Barrier

Jonathan Abdellatif started the day fifth in chips with 351,700 and he's continued where he left of yesterday, namely upwards. He and Kamel Boukhalfa are having a running battle and they just played two pots in a row.

In the first Abdellatif opened to 6,000 and called after Boukhalfa three-bet to 17,000 from the big blind. On the flop Boukhalfa checked, Abdellatif bet 19,300 and a frustrated Boukhalfa uncapped his cards before peaking at them and folding.

One hand later Abdellatif was first in again, he raised to 6,000 and this time Boukhalfa elected to smooth call from the small blind. The flop was checked through and the hit the turn. First to act Boukhalfa fired out a bet of 6,000 and it was good enough to take the pot.
