Nicolas Zakhem opened with a raise to 28,000, and when it came around to Sassine Gazaleh, he quickly announced an all in for 148,000. The table passed back to Zakhem, and he cut the calling chips out of his stack, considering his decision. "Do I need to go with you on a race?" he asked himself. Someone called the clock on Zakhem rather quickly, and after a few seconds, he made the call to put Gazaleh at risk.
Gazaleh slapped his onto the felt, and Zakhem could only show . He would find no help from the dealer either as the board ran . Gazaleh's two jacks earn him a crucial double up, and he's crawled his way over 300,000, putting him just a few thousand chips ahead of Zakhem.
