Uguccioni Leaves Kerkeni on Fumes
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Around 70,000 was in the pot as Michael Uguccioni and Mohamed Kerkeni went to the turn on a board of 2♦6♠Q♣9♣. Kerkeni then moved all in from the hijack.
Uguccioni was in the big blind with 90,000 behind and took a minute before calling. He showed A♣9♥ for a pair of nines, while Kerkeni was on a straight draw holding K♥J♥.
The 3♦ river was safe for Uguccioni and he doubled up, leaving Kerkeni with less than a big blind.
