Two Chips and a Chair

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Immediately after losing nearly his entire stack to Hadi Khordbin, Bassel Moussa moved all in from under the gun for 50,000 and received calls from Christophe Panetti in early position, Ermanno Di Nicola in the small blind and Nichan Khorchidian in the big blind.

The flop came K65 and action checked around to Panetti who bet 200,000, forcing out Di Nicola and Khorchidian to leave Moussa at risk.

Bassel Moussa: J6
Christophe Panetti: K8

Moussa turned two pair to take the lead on the J turn and remained ahead on the 2 river to take the pot and increase his stack six-fold.
