With the flop reading {J-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

, Kaselias led out for 3,000, Khouiss raised to 6,000 and Kaselias called.

On the turn of the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

, all the money ended up in the middle - Kaselias was the shorter of the two stacks with 7,700.

Khouiss: {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

Kaselias:

{A-Spades}

Khouiss now moves up to the top of the chip counts with 62,000.
