Zoufri Doubles Through Sydenstricker
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action folded to Abdelhakim Zoufri on the button, who opened to 3,000. Joao Sydenstricker defended his big blind.
The J?8?6? flop was checked by both players.
On the Q? turn, Sydenstricker checked to Zoufri, who put out a bet of 2,000. Sydenstricker check-raised to 30,000, putting Zoufri at risk for the rest of his stack if he called. Zoufri did indeed call.
Abdelhakim Zoufri: 10?9?
Joao Sydenstricker: Q?J?
Zoufri was in good shape with the queen-high straight versus Sydenstricker's top two pair with the queen high flush-draw, but had to fade plenty of outs on the river.
The river was a brick 7? handing Zoufri the double-up.
