Baali Hits to Stay Alive
Level 18
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Seeing a raise to 60,000 ahead of him, Abdellah Baali responded by moving all in for 325,000 from the cutoff. The action folded to Francesco Cortorillo in the big blind, who moved all in too, for 510,000.
The original raiser got out of the way, and the players tabled their cards.
Abdellah Baali: A♣J♥ 
Francesco Cortorillo: 8♣8♦
The flop was safe for Cortorillo, coming out 5♦5♥9♥, but the A♦ turn saw Baali leapfrog him into the lead.
The river 9♦ kept things as they were, seeing Baali earn a double up.
