Three Times the Chips for Rizkallah

From the hijack seat, Henry B. limped into the pot as the first caller, and Eddy Rafoul completed from the small blind. In the big, Walid Rizkallah grabbed his chips with two hands and moved all in for a total of 59,000. Henry B. would make the call, and Rafoul would also call after some deliberation, leaving himself just 8,000 lonely chips behind.

The dealer ran out a board of {Q-Spades} {2-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {2-Spades} with the two live players check-checking the action. Henry showed {A-Hearts} {8-Spades}, splitting with Rafoul's {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}. Neither of them would get any piece of the pot though; Rizkallah tabled {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}, good enough to triple him up to 185,000.

On the next hand, Rafoul would be all in for 7,000 with {J-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} against two players. He flopped a jack, and it was just what he needed to triple up to 28,000. On the following hand, he moved all in once again, and this time everyone ducked out of the way, adding another 22,000 chips to his dire stack.
