Aboukhalil Pours a Double

Antoine Aboukhalil

Antoine Aboukhalil limped in from early position before Jeremy Kottler stuck in a raise from the big blind. It looked like about 7,000, and Aboukhalil elected to move all in over the top for 19,900. Kottler made the call with the covering stack to put his opponent's tournament life in jeopardy.

Showdown
Aboukhalil: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Kottler: {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}

The board would run out safe for the all-in player as it ran out {2-Spades} {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {3-Spades}. With his cowboys holding up, Aboukhalil has notched himself a nice double up back over 40,000 for the first time in quite a while.
