Tot Makes a Great Call

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Aleksandar Tot opened to 80,000 from the cutoff and Maher Achour defended from the big blind.

The flop came K?Q?J?. Achour checked, Tot bet 70,000 and Achour raised to 260,000. Tot made the call.

Achour moved all in on the 6? turn, covering Tot's remaining stack of 445,000. Tot made the call and was at risk.

Aleksandar Tot: Q?9?
Maher Achour: A?8?

Tot had made an excellent call with second pair but still needed to fade any ace, ten or club to avoid elimination. The 7? river was a brick and Tot scored a crucial double up through Achour on the final table bubble.
