Mehamed Tries a Hero Call Against Goossens

David Salituro

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Guy Goossens raised to 25,000 under the gun and Alan Mehamed three-bet to 80,000 in the hijack. The table folded back around to Goossens and he called.

The flop came 5?3?8? and Mehamed continued for 60,000. Goossens called and the 7? fell on the turn.

Mehamed then bet another 225,000 and Goossens, wearing his hood low over his head, called to the 4? river.

Goossens then moved all in for 386,000 and Mehamed tanked for a minute before calling. Goossens turned over 6?5? for the rivered straight and Mehamed mucked his cards before the dealer exposed his A?K?.

Reigning WSOP Europe champion Omar Eljach, already with a bracelet this year, has seen a slow start to his day.
