Zoufri Doubles Through Sydenstricker
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action folded to Abdelhakim Zoufri on the button, who opened to 3,000. Joao Sydenstricker defended his big blind.
The J♣8♣6♣ flop was checked by both players.
On the Q♠ turn, Sydenstricker checked to Zoufri, who put out a bet of 2,000. Sydenstricker check-raised to 30,000, putting Zoufri at risk for the rest of his stack if he called. Zoufri did indeed call.
Abdelhakim Zoufri: 10♠9♥
Joao Sydenstricker: Q♣J♠
Zoufri was in good shape with the queen-high straight versus Sydenstricker's top two pair with the queen high flush-draw, but had to fade plenty of outs on the river.
The river was a brick 7♥ handing Zoufri the double-up.
