For the second consecutive hand, Nicolas Zakhem opened with a middle-position raise to 17,500. And for the second consecutive hand, Jules Allam made the call from late position.

Heads up then, the flop came out {3-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {6-Clubs}. Zakhem checked, and Allam wasted little time moving all in for right at 80,000. Just as quickly, Zakhem stood from his chair, announced, "I call," and slapped his cards down on the table, putting Allam at risk.

Showdown
Allam: {K-Spades} {J-Spades}
Zakhem: {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}

Zakhem was drawing, but he had the best hand with king-queen. The {3-Spades} that hit the river provided a few chop outs for the all-in Allam, but a blank {8-Hearts} filled out the board, sending him off to the showers with 30 players remaining.
