Ghassan Gaining Ground

In a battle of the blinds, Georges Ghassan and Rcheid Khazen generated a preflop pot worth 16,000, and it was off to the board heads up.

The dealer spread the first three cards {2-Clubs}

. Ghassan checked, and Khazen fired a feeler bet of 7,000. His opponent quickly flicked the calling chips into the pot, and the turn card came the {A-Diamonds}

. Ghassan checked again, and Khazen bet once more, 15,000 this time. Ghassan was trying to peer across the dealer to his opponent's stack, and he eventually asked for an estimate of his remaining chips. When he was satisfied with the answer, he made the call.

The last card off was the {7-Diamonds}
