Badih Bounahra, happy after another big double up.
Another big double-up on the outer table just occurred right on the heels of Scott Schwalich's, this one involving Badih Bounahra and Phil Collins.
Following a flop, Bounahra led with a bet of 675,000 and when the action got to Collins he responded by pushing all in. Bouhahra called, putting his entire stack of 4.56 million at risk.
Collins had for top pair, but Bounahra had for bottom two. The turn was the and river the . Bounahra bounds up to 9.4 million while Collins slips to 9.75 million.
Aleksandr Mozhnyakov raised to 420,000 from the hijack seat, and Scott Schwalich flatted in the cutoff. From the button, Pius Heinz squeezed in a reraise to 1.125 million, and Mozhnyakov raised it up again to 1.7 straight -- which was actually too small to be a legal raise. In any event, Schwalich moved all in for 5.42 million over the top, Heinz folded, and Mozhnyakov made the call with the covering stack. Twelve-million-chip cooler!
