Kanit Tanks Eychenne as Zajmovic Fades Everything

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Mustapha Kanit put heads-up opponent Thomas Eychenne to a tough decision on a board of {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades} with around 55,000 already in the middle.

Kanit was first to act and bet 62,000 with just a single chip behind. This sent the Frenchman deep into the tank for several minutes.

"Sorry guys," he said before eventually folding.

At the next table over, Aaron Duczak opened to 14,000 in early position and Ema Zajmovic called from the next seat to get the hands heads-up.

Duczak continued for 16,000 on the {2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop and Zajmovic raised all in for around 79,000. Duczak quickly called with a slightly bigger stack.

Ema Zajmovic: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Aaron Duczak: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

"That's ABC," commented Will "The Thrill" Failla.

Zajmovic had the lead but Duczak had endless outs with a flush draw and overcards. The board proceeded to brick out {3-Spades}{10-Spades} and Zajmovic secured the double.

"How do you fade that one?" Failla commented in disbelief.
