The First Bite
Najib Bennani limped in from the button, and Rami Boukai raised to 100,000 from the big blind. Bennani wanted to see a flop, and he made the call.
The dealer spread out in the middle of the table. Boukai checked, and Bennani took the opportunity to fire a bet of 110,000. After just a moment, Rami Boukai put in a check-raise to 450,000, drawing a long, "Hmmmmm," from his opponent. Bennani eventually elected to let his hand go, and Rami Boukai takes the first significant pot of heads-up action.
Boukai - 2,215,000
Bennani - 1,175,000
