Nasreddine Takes the Lead With Big River Raise
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Jovan Kenjic raised to 200,000 in early position and Rania Nasreddine called in the big blind.
Kenjic bet 125,000 on the 7?3?7? flop and Nasreddine called. Both players checked the 8? turn.
The river was the 5? and Kenjic bet 1,000,000. Nasreddine then slid forward a tower of red 100,000 chips for a raise to 2,000,000.
"Why not all in?" Kenjic asked as he went deep into the tank. He ended up using five time banks before announcing a call.
Nasreddine then showed A?8? for two pair. "Oh no," Kenjic said as he mucked 9?8?, giving up the massive pot and, with it, the tournament chip lead.
