Bounahra Turns the Straight
Level 12
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The hijack opened to 10,000 and got calls from the small blind and Bob Bounahra in the big blind.
The trio checked through the 
flop before the hijack continued for 20,000 on the 
turn. The small blind got out of the way, leaving Bounahra with the action. He took a bit, counting out his chip stack, before moving all in. The dealer went to begin counting out the stack, before his opponent said "I have to call." and tossed chips in the middle, with Bounahra covered.
Bob Bounahra: 
Opponent: 
Bounahra had made a nine high straight on the turn, while his opponent had just ace high. The 
river gave the opponent a pair, but it was not enough to stop Bounahra from collecting the pot and doubling up.
