Walid Rizkallah - 5th Place

Nabil Matta opened to 250,000 from the cutoff and found two folds before Walid Rizkallah moved all in for 920,000 from the big blind with Matta making the call.

Rizkallah: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

Matta:

{K-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

Before the flop fell down both Rizkallah and Matta exchanged words in a mix or Arabic and French and shook hands as a sign of good luck.

The flop of {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

would see Rizkallah gain a few additional outs, but when the turn landed the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

and river the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

he was headed to the rail.

Rizkallah picked up a healthy US$134,800 for his 5th place finish as Matta soars to over 3,700,000 in chips.
