    When Carl Des Granges bet 7,000 chips on the flop, Habib Rachidi Alaoui lost no time to call. It did not stop Des Granges from firing 15K on the turn, which sent Alaoui to the tank. It was later obvious that he wasn’t going anywhere, but rather trying to find the line that was most likely to get all the chips in.

    Alaoui decided to move all-in, covering his opponent. Des Granges had another 30K or so behind, and he finally opted to make the call with a marginal hand, probably thinking that a bet this big had a good chance of being a bluff, and confirming Alaoui’s choice as the good one.

    Alaoui: 5 of Diamonds 5 of Clubs
    Des Granges: 7 of Diamonds 7 of Spades

    Board: 5 of Spades 3 of Diamonds 8 of Spades 10 of Hearts 4 of Spades

    The river came clean, and Alaoui raked the almost-100K pot!!
