[user80015]
[user80015]
Nicolas Zakhem opened to 140,000 from the hi-jack before Imad Saab made it 340,000 to go out of the big blind. Zakhem had no trouble making the call to see the {K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop fall.

Saab cut down his stack, before announcing all in and pushing his last 690,000 into the middle.

Zakhem sat in the tank contemplating a decision for near on three minutes before eventually releasing his hand to the cheers of the crowd.

As the pot was being pushed to Saab, he tabled his {10-Spades}{8-Spades} for a semi-bluff as he moved to 1,390,000 as Zakhem slips to 580,000 in chips.
