Mouawad Roots to Bad Beat Olofsson
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Attila Zab opened to 3,000 from the hijack, Joseph Mouawad three-bet to 13,500 from the cutoff and Stefan Olofsson moved all in for 45,000 from the button. Zab folded and Mouawad went into the tank.
"Aces again?" he asked before finally making the call.
Stefan Olofsson: A♣K♠
Joseph Mouawad: A♠K♥
What was overwhelmingly likely to be a chopped pot soon went astray as the first four cards came 5♥Q♠J♠6♠. With three spades on board, Mouawad now had an ace-high flush draw. "Just one more!" Mouawad politely asked. But the river landed the 9♣ and both players seemed happy enough to chop the pot.
