Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Abdelhadi Kandah and "Farmer Boy" were all in on a flop of 2♥4♦3♣, with Kandah covered by his big stacked opponent.

Abdelhadi Kandah: 9♥3♥ All in
Farmer Boy: A♣J♦

Kandah was ahead, but stood up behind his chair as the turn came the 7♣ and river the Q♥. He held and let out a little shout of joy as he doubled his stack.

A few hands before, Farmer Boy won a huge pot when his A♥10♣ hit trip tens against his opponent's pocket aces, so he won't be too bothered by the minor setback.
