Nabil Matta opened to 250,000 from the cutoff and found two folds before Walid Rizkallah moved all in for 920,000 from the big blind with Matta making the call.

Rizkallah: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Matta: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Before the flop fell down both Rizkallah and Matta exchanged words in a mix or Arabic and French and shook hands as a sign of good luck.

The flop of {4-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{8-Hearts} would see Rizkallah gain a few additional outs, but when the turn landed the {8-Spades} and river the {4-Spades} he was headed to the rail.

Rizkallah picked up a healthy US$134,800 for his 5th place finish as Matta soars to over 3,700,000 in chips.
