Jreige Quadruples Up
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Marwan Salamoun opened from under the gun to 50,000 and Nichan Khorchidian called in the next seat. Joseph Chemaly called from the hijack, then Pierre Jreige shoved for 155,000 from the small blind. Salamoun and Khorchidian both called, then Chemaly shoved for around 650,000. Salamoun folded, but Khorchidian called to put two players at risk.
Pierre Jreige: A♦Q♥
Joseph Chemaly: A♥J♣
Nichan Khorchidian: A♠10♠
Jreige had the best of it and stayed in the lead through the 5♠9♦9♥ flop as his kicker played.
"Five or a ten," shouted Khorchidian, who was hoping to scoop the pot. However, neither the 4♦ turn nor A♣ river changed the outcome of the hand. Jreige quadrupled up, and Chemaly took the side pot.
