El Khayati Hits a Pair on the River
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Abdelhamid El Khayati defended from the big blind after Andras Balogh opened to 22,000 from the button.
El Khayati quickly called when Balogh bet 16,000 on the flop Q?2?9?. But on the turn 3?, the action slowed down as both players checked.
The 6? came on the river, and El Khayati checked again. Balogh checked back, but mucked his cards after El Khayati showed A?6? for a pair hit on the river.
