Homsi Doubles In Blind Battle

Adham Homsi

Even with a deep structure in place, we have found a few players all in; but without receiving a call.

However on table three, the crowds gathered and the table rose to their feet as we found Adham Homsi all in for his tournament life.

In a battle of the blinds between Hassan Fares, it was Homsi's {A-?}{A-?} leading Fares' {K-?}{K-?} with all the money going in on a six-high flop.

With Homsi needing to fade a King to stay in the tournament, a blank on the turn and an Ace on the river would see him double through to just under 60,000 as Fares slipped to 750 in chips.
