Guerrini Honors Doyle With a Double
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 2♥10♣8♣, Yassin Mahmoud bet 14,000 from early position before Michele Guerrini moved all in from the big blind. Mahmoud snap-called.
Michele Guerrini: 10♦2♦
Yassin Mahmoud: J♥9♠
Guerrini had flopped two pair and needed to hold on against Mahmoud's straight draw. The board ran out 9♥8♠ and Mahmoud missed his straight and Guerrini earned the pot.
Mahmoud thought he was eliminated and stood up from his seat as the dealer called out "payout," but a recount of the stacks revealed Mahmoud barely had Guerrini's 172,000 covered.
