Fahsi Holds to Double Up
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action folded to Fouad Fahsi in middle position, and he raised to 5,000 before a player in the hijack three-bet all in for his stack of 54,500. It folded back to Fahsi who made the call for his stack of 30,000 to put himself at risk.
Fouad Fahsi: 9♦9♣ 
Hijack: A♥Q♠
It was a flip for Fahsi's tournament life, and once the board ran out 4♦2♣4♥5♦J♦ the pocket nines of Fahsi were still best, giving him the double up.
