El Haddouti Hero-Calls at the Wrong Time

Mike "Timex" McDonald opened the action with a raise from the button and Abdelkarim El Haddouti three-bet out of the big blind to get called by McDonald. On the flop , El Haddouti check-called a bet worth 25,000 and did so again for 55,000 on the turn. The board filled up with the river and El Haddouti checked for a third time.

McDonald announced all in and El Haddouti ended up calling off for his last 100,000 to immediately muck once Timex had tabled his . The dealer retrieved the cards from the muck to show and El Haddouti joined the rail very close before the money.
