After a flop of 
with 19K in the pot, Karim Abdelhamid moves all in from the small blind for 49,500.
Gurtej Toor tanks for a very long time in the cutoff before he folds, and Hasanain Al Ghunaim thinks for a while on the button before he calls with 
for two pair, tens and nines.
Abdelhamid turns over 
for a flopped king-high straight, and he needs it to hold to stay alive.
The turn card is the 
, the river card is the 
, and the straight holds up for Abdelhamid to win the pot and double up in chips.
Karim Abdelhamid – 118,000 (59 bb)
Gurtej Toor – 128,000 (64 bb)
Hasanain Al Ghunaim – 70,000 (35 bb)
After the hand, Toor claims he folded king-queen with the queen of clubs (which would be top pair with a gutshot straight draw and the second nut flush draw), but he feared that Abdelhamid could have had the ace of clubs.
