Chahine Eliminates Portaro

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Simon Chahine

The player under the gun raised to 5,500 and was called by Bruno Portaro in the hijack and Simon Chahine in the big blind.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and the action checked to Portaro who tossed out 7,000. Chahine then moved all in for around 120,000 which had both opponents covered. The under the gun player folded. Portaro deliberated for over a minute before calling off with 82,000 behind.

Chahine: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Portaro: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

"I honestly didn't put you on anything," said Portaro, after noticing he was behind with his top pair versus Chahine's bottom two.

The board ran out the {k-Diamonds} then {9-Hearts} to see Portaro hit the rail after not being able to improve.

"Unlucky mate," said Chahine sincerely, following the hand.

"Couldn't have gone to a nicer guy," replied Portaro.

"Honestly, If I could double up anyone at this table it would've been you," Chahine finished with.
