Sassine Ghassan opened with a raise to 60,000 from late position, and Nicolas Zakhem moved all in for 231,000 from the small blind. When it came back on Ghassan, he instantly called with the covering stack.

Showdown
Ghassan: {6-Hearts} {6-Spades}
Zakhem: {A-Hearts} {5-Spades}

Once again, Zakhem seemed confident in his ability to come from behind, and this time the dealer would oblige him. The board came out {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs} {J-Spades} {A-Clubs} {2-Hearts}, and Zakhem's aces notch him a double up. He's back up to 475,000 now, putting Ghassan on a dangerously short stack.
