Samri Runs Kings Into Mamou-Mani's Aces
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Mohamed Samri opened with a raise from late position and Amaury Mamou-Mani re-raised to 3,500 from the big blind. Samri then four-bet, prompting Mamou-Mani to five-bet all in. Samri called quickly and was the player at risk as the cards were revealed.
Mohamed Samri: K?K?
Amaury Mamou-Mani: A?A?
The board showed 7?10?A?K?J?. Both players made a set, but Mamou-Mani's set of aces held up to win the hand.
"How many aces have you had?" asked a neutral player at the table.
"Not many. This is the fourth or fifth time," replied Mamou-Mani as he stacked his chips, now well over 100,000.
