Eleventh-Hour Double

First into the pot from the small blind, Omar Geadah moved all in for 120,000 total. In the big, the very vocal Nicolas Zakhem peeked at his cards and quickly called, adding, "Hold, baby!" as he tabled {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}. Geadah turned over {K-Hearts} {7-Hearts}, putting his tournament hopes in the hands of the king and the axe.

The dealer ran out the board of {9-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {K-Spades}, and Geadah came from behind to pair up his king, earning himself a much-needed double up just before the dinner bell.
