Taking It Easy

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

There have been not too much action, players taking it easy. A break is coming, with blinds at 12,000 and 24,000 right after.

Abdellatif Can't Lose An All-In!

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Jonathan Abdellatif
Jonathan Abdellatif

Action folded around to Jonathan Abdellatif in the small blind and he moved all in for his remaining 238,000.

James Salmon was in the big blind and snap-called.

Abdellatif: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Salmon: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Abdellatif was dominated and needed to get lucky to survive.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Abdellatif picked up a flush draw.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, giving Abdellatif the card he needed to keep the dream alive. The river was the insignificant {7-Spades} and Abdellatif collected his double up.

Abdellatif has been at risk several times already today and has survived three all-ins!
