El Mechraa Gets River Shove Through
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Hamed El Mechraa opened to 3,000 from the hijack. Seated next to him in the cutoff was Andreas Berggren, who raised it to 9,000 and got called.
The flop came 9♣8♠4♥, and El Mechraa check-called a 6,300 bet from Berggren.
It was the Moroccan who then took the initiative in the hand as he led out for 12,000 on a 6♣ turn. Berggren called.
The river was the 10♣. El Mechraa thought for a minute before announcing that he was all in. After staring El Mechraa down a few times, Berggren made the fold.
