Jeremy Geist

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ren Lin opened under the gun to 1,600 and got called in two spots by Jeremie Zouari on the button and from Boris Angelov in the big blind.

The Q♣4♥8♥ flop hit the felt and action quickly checked to Zouari on the button who put out a bet of 3,500. Angelov put in the chips but Lin got out of the way.

The 7♠ landed on the turn and action checked to the button again where Zouari went for another bet of 5,500. Angelov called again.

The A♥ river checked to Zouari and although he seemed to be thinking over a bet he eventually checked back and Angelov tabled Q♠6♠ for top pair while Zouari tapped the table and then mucked.
