Mengouchi Keeps His Foot on the Gas
Level 2
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Francesco Galanti raised to 300 under the gun and was called by a player in the hijack. Mourad Mengouchi then three-bet to 800 in the cutoff and both opponents called.
Mengouchi continued for 1,200 on the 5♦3♦2♠ and both Galanti and the hijack stuck around to see the Q♥ turn. Mengouchi then bet 3,400 and only Galanti called this time.
The J♥ river was checked down and Galanti turned over A♠5♠ for a pair of fives. Mengouchi, though, showed Q♦10♥ for a pair of queens to win the pot.
