Chucri Finds Cowboys

Sassine Gazaleh opened the pot with a late-position raise to 40,000. Two seats over, Patrick Chucri moved all in for a total of 60,000. Next door, Omar Geadah was considering for some time, and he too eventually moved all in for a total of 180,000. When it came back to Gazaleh, he hemmed and hawed and folded {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} face-up, giving Geadah a rebate.

Showdown
Chucri: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}
Geadah: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs}, holding Chucri's kings. Gazaleh slammed the felt with his fist on seeing the river card, having folded what would have been the nut flush. In any event, Chucri picks up the nice pot, more than tripling up by virtue of the blinds and antes in the pot. He's back just shy of 200,000 now.
