Chadi Ojeil came in raising from the cutoff seat, making it 175,000 to skate. In the small blind, Imad Saab announced a re-raise, sliding out a total of 430,000. Ojeil called, putting a big pot up for grabs already.

Heads up, the flop came out {A-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {10-Hearts}, and Saab moved all in for 565,000. After some long deliberation, Ojeil made the call with the covering stack, his opponent's tournament life now on the line. Saab turned over {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}, and he was thrilled to see that he had his opponent's {A-Spades} {2-Spades} out-kicked, poised for a double up. The turn {8-Clubs} kept him in the lead, and the {6-Spades} that filled out the river locked up the largest pot of the tournament for Imad Saab.

With that win, he has leapfrogged up to a whopping 2,060,000, dropping Ojeil down to just 450,000.
