Abusaleh Gets a Double
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
The action was followed from Aleksejs Ponakovs's three-bet to 360,000. Rakan Abusaleh then four-bet jammed for 930,000. Ponakovs, thought for a few seconds, before he found a call, and the players flip their hands.
Rakan Abusaleh: A♦J♠ 
Aleksejs Ponakovs: Q♣9♣
Abusaleh was looking to stay ahead to stay alive in the tournament.
The 6♥3♣2♥ flop brought a club, giving Ponakovs a backdoor flush but not much else changed.
The 4♣ turn brought a further flush draw sweat for the table.
Abusaleh held strong on the 7♠ river, and got the double, with Ponakovs missing his outs.
