Almost Back In the Game

Maxime Taldir

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Both in middle positions, Mohammed Boudazdit and Ladislav Kellner moved all in preflop, with Kellner being the one at risk for 1,190,000 chips.

Ladislav Kellner: A?A?
Mohammed Boudazdit: Q?Q?

Boudazdit couldn't do much against Kellner's aces. So after the board 2?6?8?4?4?, Kellner doubled up.

Down to 95,000, Boudazdit shoved in the next hand, and Mikkel Plum called from the big blind.

Mohammed Boudazdit: A?J?
Mikkel Plum: 5?3?

Plum had a flush draw on J?2?K?10?. But the river A? didn't complete it, so Boudazdit doubled up. "Three more, and I'm back in the game," he said.

And Boudazdit didn't wait, as he jammed again one hand later. Plum called again, this time from the small blind.

Mohammed Boudazdit: 10?9?
Mikkel Plum: A?8?

"I lost this time," said Boudazdit when he flipped his cards. And he was right because Plum hit the nut flush directly on the flop on a board of 6?J?7?8?7?, leading to Boudazdit's elimination.
