Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

With nearly 20,000 in chips already in the middle, one player and Sam Khouiss were involved in some big action on the paired board of {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. The unknown player was first and bet 10,000. With stack of 22,300, Khouiss raised all in. This sent his opponent into the tank, and tank he did for several minutes.

"It's only 12,300 more," said Khouiss after a bit of time. "But you can fold and still come back."

"I think you've got a boat," said the other player. "I've got a boat, but I've got the lowest one possible."

"A boat?" asked Khouiss in a surprised manner. "I thought you had a flush."

After another minute or two passed, and then Khouiss' opponent laid down the {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} for all to see. Indeed he did have a full house, deuces full of jacks, and he made the tough lay down. Khouiss showed the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} for a bigger full house, and jaws dropped around the table.

On the next hand, the player who laid down the deuces against Khouiss got involved in another big pot. This time, though, he wouldn't be left with chips to fight on.

On the {Q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} board, two players checked, and then Vincent Chua bet 700. The first player check-raised to 1,400, and then the player from the previous hand reraised to 3,100. Chua immediately made it 8,500 to go, and the first player got out of the way. The player who folded the full house moved all in for 22,000, and Chua called.

Chua had the {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and the other player had the {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The turn was the {J-Clubs} to give Chua a winning flush, the river completed the board with the {2-Spades}.
