Geadah Doubles Again!

Nabil Matta opened the pot with a raise to 50,000 from middle position, and Omar Geadah moved all in down the line, shoving most of his 167,000 chips forward. Well, he tried to move all in, but the dealer didn't hear his verbal announcement, so Geadah was told that his final 6,000 chips would be left out of the pot for now. Next door, Nicolas Zakhem was toiling over a tough decision, and he eventually announced to all the world, "I'm all in! Hold, baby!"

Matta asked for a count but quickly folded as soon as he could eyeball the 500,000+ stack being broken down. Geadah took care of his last few chips, splashing them in and turning over {Q-Hearts}

"Come on, there is an ace coming on the river! Ace on the river!"

. "Ace on the flop!" yelled Zakhem. The second card was the {9-Clubs}

, and a dramatic {Q-Diamonds}

was the final flop card, rendering Zakhem momentarily silent.

and

instead. Drawing dead after the turn, Zakhem sends a double up over to Geadah, bumping him up to 390,000.
