Georges Ghassen doubles

We pick up the action in a three-way pot on the turn as the board shows {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

. The first two players checked, and Sevag Heybelian put out a bet of 20,000. After a bit of head shaking and sideways glancing, Georges Ghassan check-raised all in for a total of 47,900. Ibrahim Ghassan folded out of the way, and when Heybelian called, it was heads up for the other Ghassan's tournament life.

Showdown
Heybelian: {A-Clubs}

Ghassan:

{J-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

That jack on the turn was the money card for the at-risk Ghassan, putting him in control of his own fate with top set. The river {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

filled him up, dodging the two-out ace to double his way up over 120,000.
