Bouskila Busts Two

Frank Visser

Level 14 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The hand was played until the turn when the action was caught. The board read 4?6?7?A? and Sim Kok Wai had bet 22,000. Nacho Barbero was in the next seat over and made the call before his neighbor Michel Bouskila shoved all his chips in. He covered both of them with his 112,000 remaining chips.

Wai tanked for a while but eventually made the call. ''I know you have a set'', Barbero claimed, ''but I have to call'' and he put in his last chips.

Sim Kok Wai: A?6?
Nacho Barbero: K?5?
Michel Bouskila: 7?7?

Two pair for Wai and a combo draw for Barbero, but Bouskila was in the lead with his set of sevens. The river 7? gave him the unbeatable four of a kind and he collected two bounty chips for his effort.
