Yacoub Triples On the Bubble

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mikhail Galitskiy limped in from under the gun and Dori Yacoub completed his small blind. Jeff Hakim raised to 70,000 in the big blind and both opponents called.

The flop came {4-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, Yacoub checked, Hakim shoved for 257,000, Galitskiy also shoved with the biggest stack, and Yacoub called for the 225,000 he had behind.

Dori Yacoub: {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Jeff Hakim: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Mikhail Galitskiy: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The rest of the board was completed with the {k-Diamonds} on the turn and the {2-Diamonds} on the river for Yacoub to triple up and Hakim to get paid a double for the 32,000 he had left after paying Yacoub.
