Chaoui Sweats With Zubov
Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On the first hand back from dinner, Mehdi Chaoui moved all in for 44,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Alexander Zubov. He began rubbing his cards as he took a peek. "Not too much. Let's look together," Chaoui said. Zubov then called to put him at risk.
Mehdi Chaoui: A?7? 
Alexander Zubov: K?2?
The 7?4?2? flop gave both players a pair, but Chaoui remained ahead with his sevens as the A? turn improved him to two pair. The dealer hesitated before turning over the 6? river and Chaoui doubled up. "You scared me," Chaoui said as he took the pot.
