Guerrini Honors Doyle With a Double
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 2?10?8?, Yassin Mahmoud bet 14,000 from early position before Michele Guerrini moved all in from the big blind. Mahmoud snap-called.
Michele Guerrini: 10?2?
Yassin Mahmoud: J?9?
Guerrini had flopped two pair and needed to hold on against Mahmoud's straight draw. The board ran out 9?8? and Mahmoud missed his straight and Guerrini earned the pot.
Mahmoud thought he was eliminated and stood up from his seat as the dealer called out "payout," but a recount of the stacks revealed Mahmoud barely had Guerrini's 172,000 covered.
