Bubble Doubles; Oubja and Guizani Survive
It was a long bubble. There were several all in and calls with short stacks finding their luck and doubling up to remain in the game.
In one such hand, Badr Oubja put the rest of his stack in the middle from the small blind, 19,500 chips. Mehdi Chaoui called in the big blind and players flipped their cards.
Badr Oubja: K♣K♥
Mehdi Chaoui: Q♥6♦
Oubja had woken up with pocket kings in the perfect moment for him. The rest of the room screamed out for sixes to come. The board ran out 9♦2♦6♠7♥5♦. Oubja's kings held and he doubled up.
The next hand, over on another table, Action was on the flop on a board of 9♦7♣7♠. Fathi Guizani moved all in with a short stack and Amer Benmoumen called for a few chips more.
Guizani showed K♠9♣ for a pair of nines. Benmoumen showed 10♥6♦ for a backdoor straight draw.
The turn came the 2♥ and the river was the 6♠. Benmoumen paired up with his sixes, but Guizani held to double up.
