Zouari Fades Flush to Double Up
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Action folded to Bruno Lopes, who raised to 100,000 from the button. Nicolas Julien responded by moving all in from the small blind and Jeremie Zouari quickly made the call in the big blind. Lopes folded and two players flipped their cards, with Zouari at risk.
Jeremie Zouari: J♥J♣
Nicolas Julien: 9♠8♠
Zouari had pocket jacks and was way out ahead preflop. The board ran out A♥3♠2♠2♣9♣.
The flop brought Julien a flush draw and Zouari had to sweat it out. Julien failed to catch up, however, and Zouari scooped the pot for a double up.
