Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Omar Lakhdari moved all in for 45,000 on the button and Luigi Macaluso called in the small blind. Alejandro Ganivet then reraised to 180,000 and Macaluso folded.

Omar Lakhdari: K♦3♠ All in
Alejandro Ganivet: 9♠9♣

Lakhdari was looking for a king against Ganivet's nines as the flop came J♣5♠6♦. The 3♥ turn gave him additional outs with a pair, while the 3♣ river gave Lakhdari trips and a double up.

The next hand, Lakhdari raised to 140,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind, and Macaluso called on the button.

Both players checked down the Q♣J♦7♦8♣3♣ board and Macaluso won the pot with A♣J♠ against Lakhdari's A♦7♣.

After the hand, Javier Tsunamy accused the two opponents of colluding by checking down the board. The floor was called over, and Macaluso was given a one-round penalty.
