Abou Khalil Fades Everything to Double

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Ghassan Abou Khalil, Daniel Rezaei, and Rashad Iskandarov were three-handed on a flop of {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs} when Abou Khalil got his last 270,000 in the middle from the hijack against Rezaei in the small blind, while Iskandarov folded.

Ghassan Abou Khalil: {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Daniel Rezaei: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Abou Khalil had top pair but needed to fade Rezaei's straight and flush draws. The board ran out {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Rezaei missed both draws to hand over most of his stack to Abou Khalil.

"Do you win," tablemate Toni Kaukua asked Iskandarov after the hand, who shook his head..
