Chaoui Gets Value on the River
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Liu Chun Keat raised to 32,000 from the cutoff and Mehdi Chaoui made the call from the small blind. The pair saw a flop of 4♦A♥Q♠, which Keat continuation-bet for 23,000. Chaoui check-called the bet and the 6♠ turn appeared, which both players checked.
On the 8♥ river, Chaoui chose to take the betting lead by putting 48,000 forth. Keat thought it over for a while but ended up making the call, however he instantly mucked his hand when he saw the A♠7♠ that Chaoui tabled. Top pair was enough to take this small pot between the two below-average stacks.
