Morina’s Pair Puts El Yaacoubi in the Muck

Sava Krink

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With three players in the mix and a pot of around 3,700 already at stake, the flop came down 7?A?A?. After Robertas Sakinis checked, Arber Morina made a bet of 1,000, which only Rachid El Yaacoubi chose to call.

Morina continued to take the lead on the J? turn with a bet of 1,500, but El Yaacoubi responded with a raise to 4,100, prompting Morina to call.

Both players checked when the K? hit the river, leading to a showdown. Morina revealed K?4?, having turned a flush draw that became a pair of aces and kings on the river. El Yaacoubi quickly mucked his cards, clearly not happy.
