Stokkan Doubles To Leave Bitar Short
Niveau 18
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ghassan Bitar had opened from under the gun and action was back on him facing a three-bet all in for 160,000 from Preben Stokkan in the hijack.
"Okay, call," said Bitar.
Preben Stokkan: 
Ghassan Bitar: 
Stokkan went from way behind to way ahead after the flop fell 
, giving him the nuts and leaving Bitar in need of hitting running aces to improve to a better full house or a running 
for a royal flush. The turn 
squashed both of those chances and the river 
completed the runout, giving Stokkan a double and Leaving Bitar with only 42,000.
BItar was in the big blind next hand and got his last chips in after his big-blind ante against Daniel Dvoress on the next hand to double, bringing him back to around an eight big-blind stack.
