Ryan Lashmar

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

With about 7,000 in the middle and the board reading A♣10♣5♦, Abdessamade El Mzdadi check-called a 3,300 bet from Floris Ten Cate.

The turn came the 6♠. El Mzdadi checked, Cate bet again for 5,500, and El Mzdadi moved all in for 14,300. Cate made the call to put El Mzdadi at risk.

Abdessamade El Mzdadi: A♥10♥
Floris Ten Cate: A♦J♦

El Mzdadi was in great shape to double up, only having to fade three outs from Cate. El Mzdadi managed to avoid the three remaining jacks and received a full double up while Cate was left short-stacked.
