Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Rachid El Yaacoubi kicked off the action with a raise to 160,000 from the hijack, and Frederik Thiemer responded with a hefty three-bet to 625,000 from the small blind. After some thought, El Yaacoubi decided to make the call, setting up an exciting heads-up pot.
The dealer laid out the K?6?7? flop, and Thiemer continued the aggression with a bet of 300,000. El Yaacoubi, however, wasn’t backing down and called without much hesitation.
When the 3? hit the turn, Thiemer slowed down and checked. Sensing an opportunity, El Yaacoubi seized the moment and fired a bet of 735,000. The pressure was too much for Thiemer, who folded, leaving the pot in El Yaacoubi’s hands.
