Bou Habib Makes A Big Fold
Walid Bou Habib opened to 35,000 from the cutoff and usually this would take down the blinds and antes without much of a fight; but not this time.
On this occasion he found callers in the shape of Erik Cajelais (button), Ran Azor (small blind) and Joseph El Khoury (big blind). The quartet shared a flop reading and the action checked around Cajelais who bet 48,000. Azor and Bou Habib called and it was three-handed to the turn.
Again it was checked to Cajelais and he bet once more, this time increasing the size to 120,000. Azor paused for a few moments before moving all-in, covering both players. Bou Habib tank folded and Cajelias mucked his hand.
Bou Habib showed for top pair and a flush draw, a hand many of his table mates thought he should go with.
