Only Clubs In The Deck

Maxime Taldir

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Adrian Chiforescu opened from early position to 6,000 and was called by Maher Nouira on the button and by both players in the blinds.

Nouira stood up and leaned over the table to see a pretty K?Q?A? flop. Even though it looked nice, everybody checked, and all four players checked again on the turn 8?. There was no more action on the river K?.

First to reveal his cards, Nouira stood up again and placed 6?5? on the board for a flush. Chiforescu showed K?J? and then mucked his cards.

On the next hand, Chiforescu, under the gun, raised preflop, and Nouira in the cutoff called again. The small blind also played, and the dealer revealed a flop of 6?J?4? with three clubs again. But this time, Chiforescu chose to bet 5,000. Nouira was the only one to call. Then both of them checked on the turn 7?.

The river was the 4?. Chiforescu bet 25,000, and eventually, Nouira folded the 2?.
