Tahtouh Gets In A Tangle

Carl Booth, runaway chip leader
Carl Booth, runaway chip leader
A huge pot has just gone down between Emad Tahtouh and chip leader Carl Booth, and the hand didn't even get to the river.

It was Booth who raised preflop to 32,000 with Tahtouh making the call in the big blind.

The flop came down {A-Spades}{2-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and Tahtouh checked to Booth who fired 35,000. Tahtouh then check-raised to 80,000 and Booth made the call.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and Tahtouh fired out a hefty 160,000 into the middle but he was met with an all-in reply from Booth to send Tahtouh into the think tank. He eventually released and decided to hang onto his last 275,000 as Booth extends his chip lead to around 1.47 million chips.
