Bechahed More Than Doubles Up
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Nazar Buhaiov opened under the gun to 200,000 and was called by Tomas Szwarcberg from middle position. Kenneth Kim then squeezed to 750,000 from the cutoff, and Sami Bechahed made it 1,800,000 from the button, leaving himself just 60,000 behind. Buhaiov and Szwarcberg both quickly folded, then Kim shoved and exposed his cards, without realizing that Bechahed hadn't yet called. Bechahed knew what he was up against and flicked in his last 60,000 chips.
Sami Bechahed: K?K? 
Kenneth Kim: K?J?
Kim didn't get any help from the 5?3?9?A?6? runout which meant Bechahed more than doubled up, and Kim's stack had a big hole in it.
