Yacoub Reps the River

Simon Taberham opened the action for 7,000 and faced a three-bet to 15,700 from Dori Yacoub. The blinds got out of the way Taberham checked the amount before putting out the call.

The flop was which saw both players check but on the turn card Taberham led out for 16,000. Yacoub made the call and the river completed the board. Taberham continued for 20,0000 but the faced a raise to 48,000 from Yacoub. Taberham looked a bit reluctant but he made the call.

Yacoub turned over and wasn’t surprised he was beat but he was surprised to see the flopped set of his opponent. “What flop. Nice hand, I thought you didn’t have an ace.” Yacoub explained, justifying his river raise. A brave move which has severely hurt his stack and Yacoub sighed, visibly deflated at the result.
