Zakaria Spikes the River to Score a Double KO
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
"Zakaria" opened from the hijack and was called by Philippe Nizard in the small blind and Mounim Kaddouri in the big blind.
On the 9♠8♥5♥ flop, the action checked to Zakaria who bet 10,000. Nizard then raised to 36,500 from the small blind. In the big blind, Kaddouri three-bet to 90,000. With the action back on Zakaria, he jammed as the covering stack and both opponents called all-in.
Philippe Nizard: 5♠5♣ 
Mounim Kaddouri: 9♥8♠
"Zakaria": 10♥10♣
Zakaria held an overpair to the board but it was no good against Nizard's set of fives and Kaddouri's two pair. Nizard was set to win a massive one on the J♦ turn. However, the dealer peeled the 10♠ on the river to give Zakaria the winner as he eliminated two opponents in an almost 200 big blind pot.
