Yachou and Onrust Play a Big One

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

As we arrived, the flop was already out in a four way pot. Small blind Farid Yachou was first to act and checked on {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. The player under the gun bet 600 and Jesper Onrust, seated two to his left, instantly raised to 2,000. The player on the button folded and Yachou called from the small blind. The under the gun player folded.

The {2-Diamonds} hit the turn and Yachou checked. Onrust bet 5,500 and Yachou called.

With the {2-Hearts} completing the board, Yachou checked a third time. Onrust contemplated what to do for a bit, before eventually saying "I think you're good" while checking behind.

Yachou wasn't so sure about that and showed his {3-Spades}{4-Spades} for the flopped pair and flush draw. Onrust tabled {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the winning hand and raked in the chips.

Despite losing this pot, Yachou is still hovering around starting stack. Last year he won this very event, and he went on to win the World Poker Tour Tournament of Champions just last month, making for a true Cinderella story. Those are the only two cashes on his palmares, so anything but a win will bring down his average result on his HendonMob page.
