Double Knockout for Tarek Sleiman

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

With about 2,500 in the pot, on a board reading {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Spades}, the players in the big blind and the hijack were both all in, and Tarek Sleiman was faced with a decision on the button.

Sleiman had both players covered by plenty of chips, with the blind being the short stack with 11,000 and the hijack having about 13,000. Eventually, Sleiman called.

Sleiman: {5-Spades}{2-Spades}
Big blind: {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Hijack: {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Sleiman was ahead with a flush, and the hijack was drawing fairly slim with just top pair. The big blind had the only other spade for the possibility of making a bigger flush.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}, pairing the board and giving the hijack some outs to survive. The river was the {7-Clubs} and Sleiman earned the double knockout.
