Chouity Takes Chip Lead
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Nicolas Chouity opened to 500,000 with A♥J♥ in the cutoff and Hadi Khadra called with A♦2♣ on the button. Murat Cakir then defended his big blind with J♣9♣.
Cakir checked the 5♣A♠4♦ flop, folding his hand once Chouity continued for 550,000 and Khadra called.
Chouity slowed down on the 9♥ turn, check-calling a bet of 800,000 from Kahdra to the 9♠ river.
Both players checked, with Chouity's kicker playing to take down the pot and the chip lead.
