Aboukhalil Hangs On

Down to 23,000 chips, Anthony Aboukhalil moved all in. He was called by small blind Thomas Bichon, yet another in a string of opponents that has attempted to take Aboukhalil out. This time Aboukhalil showed {9-Spades} {9-Clubs}; Bichon was drawing at an ace with {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs}. The board blanked {J-Spades} {6-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {8-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} to give Aboukhalil another double-up.

He is, however, still deathly short at 62,000.
