Bashlawi Triples as Oeye Busts
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Espen Oeye, Max Bashlawi, and Abd El Mannan Qasem had their cards on their backs, with Qasem having the chance to send two players to the rail.
Espen Oeye: K♣K♠
Max Bashlawi: J♠9♠
Abd El Mannan Qasem: A♣4♥
Oeye and Bashlawi had almost identical equity, but that quickly became irrelevant when Qasem spiked an ace on the A♥8♠Q♥ flop to take a commanding lead.
Both players picked up additional outs on the J♦ turn, and it was Bashlawi who found the river he needed as the 9♣ improved him to two pair.
Oeye was eliminated, while Bashlawi scooped the pot and tripled up to over 50,000.
