Fkih Dodges a Flush to Double
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 4?6?9?, Ali Fkih bet 13,000 from early position before Mustafa Biz raised to 42,000 in the big blind. Fkih then moved all in for 97,000 and Biz quickly called.
Ali Fkih: K?K?
Mustafa Biz: A?5?
Fkih had picked up kings but needed to dodge Biz's nut flush draw to stay alive. The 9? turn was safe, and so was the 6? river as Fkih doubled up.
Joao Vieira and 2010 EPT Monte Carlo champion Nicolas Chouity are also at this table.
