Kaufmann Wins Last Long Stream Hand Before the Break
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Twenty six thousand were wagered by Younes Hammouchi with the 5♦5♣ from an early position. David Kaufmann in the hijack made it 78,000 to go with the J♦J♣ and it folded back to Hammouchi, who tossed in calling chips.
The 6♠4♣2♥ flop gave Hammouchi a "gutter to the butter" and he checked. Kaufmann sized down to 45,000 and Hammouchi then declared a raise "to ninety-six", little more than a min-click. Kaufmann called and the K♣ appeared on the turn.
Both players opted to check to the Q♣ river, which completed a potential back door flush. Hammouchi bet 155,000 into 378,000 and Kaufmann called to take it down.
