Hasbani Scores a Massive Double
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
According to the players at Table 8, two players saw a flop of 5♠3♣10♣ with a sizable pot already brewing after the preflop action. Antoine Hasbani had bet only for Bakhos Joumaa to raise all in, covering Hasbani who started the hand with roughly 300,000. Hasbani then called to put himself at risk.
Antoine Hasbani: 9♥9♦
Bakhos Joumaa: K♥J♥
Hasbani's pair of nines were ahead but he still had to fade two overcards from Joumaa. The 4♦ turn and 3♦ river improved neither play and Hasbani took down a pot worth nearly 150 big blinds.
