Hammoud Makes a Big Mistake as Hatefi Doubles

Level 5 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Amir Hatefi was all in for his last 93,000 from early position and up against Kassem Hammoud in the small blind.

Amir Hatefi: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Kassem Hammoud: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Hatefi's jacks stayed in front to earn him a double up.

"I swear I thought my hand was kings," Hammoud said after he paid off Hatefi.

"That's why you always check twice," a tablemate replied.
