Zouari Chips Up Through Gabdullin

Matt Warburton

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jeremie Zouari raised to 4,500 from middle position and Damir Gabdullin called.

The flop came 2♦9♣10♠. Zouari bet 4,500 and Gabdullin called. The turn was the A♥. Zouari bet 7,500 and Gabdullin called again.

The river came the K♣ and Zouari did not relent, instead pushing out a bet of 35,000. This sent Gabdullin into the tank and after a while he opted to make the fold and concede the pot to Zouari, who's stack now amounted to over 200,000 chips.
