It's Still Christmas For Tahtouh

Emad Tahtouh
Emad Tahtouh
An interesting hand has just developed that left Emad Tahtouh with the chips in rather strange circumstances.

The action until the river wasn't anything startling with bets on the flop and turn called by Tahtouh on the {5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} board. It wasn't until the {K-Clubs} river that things got interesting.

The pot was already worth well over 12,000 when Tahtouh checked again to his opponent. The player deliberated for some time and considered his options. One would be to bet, another to check, but the player decided on the third of two choices and decided to just toss his cards straight into the muck!

A player at the table started to point out the error but Tahtouh jokingly asked the player to not teach him the right way to play, "Let him make the same mistake again!" laughed Tahtouh as he raked in the chips. "Tell him in the car park afterwards!"

Tahtouh is up to over 40,000.
