Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action was picked up on the river in a hand between Otmane Smlali in the small blind and Hakim Toram from the cutoff.
With around 50,000 in the middle and the board reading 8♣7♠6♦10♦J♦, Smlali checked to Toram who put out a sizeable bet of 40,000. In response, Smlali check-jammed as the covering stack for 165,000 effective. Toral went deep into the tank as he contemplated his decision before he decided that his hand was too good to fold, and he called all-in.
Hakim Toram: 4♦3♦ 
Otmane Smlali: A♦2♦
It was a brutal cooler with both players making runner-runner flush. Smlali collected the rest of Toram's chips as he becomes one of the largest stacks in the room.
