Killer King on the River Finishes Abdelhadi
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
With around 900,000 already in the pot on a board of 6♦6♣7♦10♠, Gabriel Akiki jammed from the big blind, and Ahmad Abdelhadi went into the tank from under the gun. The jam was for Abdelhadi's remaining 1,000,000, and after thinking it over for quite some time, Abdelhadi slammed in the call.
Ahmad Abdelhadi: 8♣8♠ 
Gabriel Akiki: K♦J♣
Akiki had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar by Abdelhadi, but he could hit a king or jack on the river to win the pot and bust Abdelhadi. The dealer delivered the K♠ on the river to give Akiki the best hand with a pair of kings.
Akiki shouted, "Yes, yes baby!" , while Abdelhadi quietly headed to collect his payout.
