Fkih Dodges a Flush to Double
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 4♠6♠9♥, Ali Fkih bet 13,000 from early position before Mustafa Biz raised to 42,000 in the big blind. Fkih then moved all in for 97,000 and Biz quickly called.
Ali Fkih: K♣K♥
Mustafa Biz: A♠5♠
Fkih had picked up kings but needed to dodge Biz's nut flush draw to stay alive. The 9♣ turn was safe, and so was the 6♣ river as Fkih doubled up.
Joao Vieira and 2010 EPT Monte Carlo champion Nicolas Chouity are also at this table.
