Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Sal Al Fakih limped in from under the gun and received a call from Justin Boyle on the button while Jose Gonzalez Sanchez checked from the big blind.
The flop came 10?9?8?. Sanchez checked and Al Fakih moved all in for 240,000. Boyle got out of the way while Sanchez made the call with a covering stack.
Sal Al Fakih: A?A?
Jose Gonzalez Sanchez: Q?10?
Sanchez had flopped top pair but was in rough shape against Al Fakih's aces, which held on the 4?6? runout to secure a full double up for Al Fakih.
