Aboukhalil Doubles Again

[user75032]

Anthony Aboukhalil has been riding the shortest of short stacks as far as it will take him. He opened all in for 28,000 from late position. Action passed to John Monnette in the big blind, who had to call only 22,000 more. He decided to gamble and called with {8-Spades} {3-Spades}. Aboukhalil showed {A-Spades} {5-Spades} and the game was afoot.

Board: {2-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}

Each player made a pair, but Aboukhalil's pair of aces was best. He dragged the pot and doubled to 63,000.
