Hadi Ghattas was down to 43K when he open shoved from the button, and Anthony-Paul Belle-Isle quickly made the call and confidently showed down his , way ahead of Hadi’s – he even had the suits covered.
The flop was inconsequential – – but the turn was just what Hadi was looking for and the river did no harm – he had his double up for this critical period of play.
This hand was one of several short-stack doubles (or triples) as the bubble loomed, but the logjam broke just a couple of minutes later as Frederic Robert became the unlucky bubble player to go out in 26th. The remaining 25 players are all in the money.
