Saracoglu Doubles After El Asmar's Gamble Doesn't Pay Off
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
There were already around 20,000 chips in the pot on a 4♠10♥3♦Q♣ board when Atilla Saracoglu had fired 16,400, leaving himself just 500 behind. Hady El Asmar took his time before he shoved, and Saracoglu called off his last 500.
Atilla Saracoglu: K♠K♥ 
Hady El Asmar: 7♥7♦
El Asmar was behind with his pocket sevens and looking to hit the jackpot by improving to a set. However, the jackpot bells didn't ring as the 6♣ fell on the river, which kept Saracoglu's pocket kings in the lead.
