Maekelberg’s Kings Crush El Yakoubi
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
PokerNews arrived as Karim Maekelberg three-bet to 12,000, prompting Mosjin El Yakoubi to respond with a four-bet to 55,500, leaving himself just 19,000 behind. Maekelberg made the call, seemingly bracing for an all-in shove that didn’t immediately come.
The dealer revealed the 3?K?Q? flop, and El Yakoubi wasted no time moving in his remaining chips. Maekelberg quickly called, and the cards were revealed.
Mosjin El Yakoubi: A?Q?
Karim Maekelberg: A?K?
With top pair already in the lead, the K? on the turn locked it up for Maekelberg, leaving the 9? on the river as a mere formality. El Yakoubi hit the rail, while Maekelberg stacked up even more chips.
