Tough Spot for Boukhalfa

The was a mound of chips in the middle, two players in the hand and a board reading . Action was on under-the-gun player Eli Heath who cut out a stack of grey T5000 chips and riffled them together into one tower. He then added some yellow T1000 chips for good measure and slid out a bet of 80,000. It evidently wasn’t what his opponent Kamel Boukhalfa wanted to see as he started squirming in his chair causing his tablet to crash the floor. He retrieved it and asked his opponent if he had ace jack. Heath didn’t move. Boukhalfa counted out the call. Fold and he still had a playable stack. Call and lose and he would be crippled. If he won however….

Big decision, and it did take quite a while, but Boukhalfa made a frustrated fold.
