Habib Khanis Doubles Through Russell Spaid

[user40108]

Russell Spaid raised to 80,000 from under the gun. Habib Khanis reraised all in for 104,000 total from early position. Action folded around to back Spaid and he made the call. The players showed:

Spaid: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

Khanis:

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

The flop was great for Spaid coming {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

. The turn helped neither player when it came the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

. Khanis was one card from elimination when the dealer put the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

down on the river.

He jumped into air and clapped, seemingly involuntarily. He is back in the mix, now with 262,000 chips.
