Khalifa Keeps Climbing
Niveau 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Pavlos Xanthopoulos opened to 8,000 from under the gun and was called by Thomas Gubler on his immediate left. Bruno Khalifa came along in the big blind and the trio saw a flop of 5♦9♥K♥.
Khalifa and Xanthopoulos checked before Gubler fired 12,000. Khalifa then check-raised to 35,000, with Xanthopoulos quickly folding. Gubler took some time before announcing all in, with Khalifa snap-calling.
Thomas Gubler: A♥Q♥ 
Bruno Khalifa: 5♠5♥
Khalifa's flopped set of fives was looking to dodge a heart, further improving on the J♦ turn and J♣ river to make a full house. Gubler wished the table good luck on his way to the exit.
