Assi Gets the Double Through Chaoui
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On a board of 9♠10♥5♠9♣6♥, there were around 30,000 in the middle when Mehdi Chaoui was seen with 48,000 in front of him from the hijack and Salah Assi had shoved 118,500 out of the small blind.
Chaoui was deep in the tank and burning through time bank after time bank before he eventually decided on a call.
"Full," said Assi as he flipped over a boat with 10♦9♥. Chaoui mucked but the dealer revealed he had made the call with a straight holding 8♥7♥.
Elsewhere, despite getting that small double-up, Sirzat Hissou couldn't hang on and he was eliminated.
