Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
Rami Hakim has boosted his stack to sit as one of the chip leaders.
One big hand that Hakim took down started when he opened it up with a raise from early position and was faced with a three-bet to 1,675 from Ricky Kroesen. Hakim made the call and the dealer turned over a 
flop. Hakim check-called a bet of 1,725 here and then both players checked the 
turn.
On the 
river, Hakim led for 5,500 and Kroesen went deep into the tank, eventually calling.
At showdown, Hakim tabled 
and Kroesen’s cards went into the muck.
“Nice hand mate,” said Kroesen. “You got my aces.”
