Lahmani Forces Out Franco
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
In a single-raised pot with 200,000 each in the middle to the Q?8?3? flop, Kabeelan Rajamurthy checked out of the small blind and Oshri Lahmani bet 280,000 in the big blind. Sonny Franco as the initial raiser called and Rajamurthy folded.
Lahmani potted the 4? turn for 1,280,000 with few chips behind and Franco tank-folded.
"I have a very strong hand," Lahmani said and exposed the A?Q?10?6? for top pair and two flush draws.
Franco responded "kings with king-high flush draw" but never showed his cards.
Manh Nguyen then raised to 220,000 and Rajamurthy called on the button. Nguyen continued for 500,000 on the 8?4?3? flop to take it down.
"Top set," Lahmani in the small blind said and Nguyen replied "I had outs".
