Taghla Stuns Fischer on the River
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Heads-up on a board of 5♥3♦9♥4♠, Mohamed-Said Taghla bet 9,000 from middle position before Marc Fischer moved all in for 28,100 in the hijack. Taghla spent several minutes in the tank before the clock was called. The countdown had nearly reached zero when Taghla put in the chips to call.
Taghla showed A♦A♣, but he was behind Fischer's 5♣5♦ for a set. The river, though, was the A♥ and a collective gasp arose from the table as Taghla spiked a set of aces to send Fischer to the rail.
"I know that's a bad call. Sorry," Taghla said to Fischer.
"That's poker," Fischer replied, taking the bad beat in stride on his way to the exit.
