Mokrani Chips Back Up; Zouari Slips Further
Jeremie Zouari raised into the big blind of Mohamed Mokrani, who defended to see a flop of 
. Mokrani check-called a bet of 150,000 and the 
turn followed. Another check-call for 300,000 by Mokrani led to the 
river on which Zouari checked behind.
Mokrani tabled the 
for two pair and won the pot. Both exchanged some words in French as Mokrani asked his opponent if he had a jack. Zouari nodded and Mokrani continued "guess you have to call if I bet."
One hand later, Zouari defended the big blind against an under-the-gun raise by Cedric Massaro. The 
flop was checked and Zouari bet the turn for 200,000, Massaro came along.
No betting action came after the 
river and Zaouri exposed the 
for ten-high with a missed gutshot, which Massaro had beat holding the 
for ace-king high.
