Mustapha Kanit raised to 700 from early position and Ghattas Kortas three-bet to 2,500 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Kanit who called.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}, Kanit check-called the 2,300 continuation-bet of Kortas.

The turn brought them the {10-Clubs} and again, Kanit check-called the 5,700 bet of Kortas.

The {4-Hearts} on the river completed the board. Kanit checked for the last time. Kortas shoved and Kanit asked for a count. The dealer counted out Kortas' stack and confirmed Kortas had 17,225 in front of him and had Kanit covered. Kanit considered all his options and then threw in a chip for the call.

Kortas tabled {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for the rivered straight to eliminate Kanit as he held {j-}{j-} for an overpair.
