Abi-Yaghi Hangs On to Double Off Backhaus

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Dennis Backhaus raised to 6,000 under the gun, Tanios Abi-Yaghi moved all in for 24,000 in middle position, and Backhaus called.

Tanios Abi-Yaghi: A♦J♦ All in
Dennis Backhaus: K♣10♣

Backhaus picked up a flush draw going to the river on a board of 2♠6♠2♣6♣, but he missed the 9♠ as Abi-Yaghi held on with his ace-high to earn the double up.

"It looked like I won," Backhaus joked afterward.
