Rabah Belal Ahin Al-Nasseri was already chip leader of Day 1a before scoring a double knockout, putting him far ahead of the rest of the players in this flight so far.
Edward Hislop opened the action to 2,500 from early position, and was followed by Rabah in middle position. Joel Thibeault 3bet all-in for 12,000 from the button, and Edward quickly made the call, holding a little over 50,000 behind. Rabah then announced all-in, and Edward once again quickly made the call.
