Moussa Flips For His Tournament Life

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Bassel Moussa moved all in for 205,000 from the cutoff and Gurcan Gungoren called in the small blind, Musa Cenc gave it some thought from the big blind before folding.

Bassel Moussa: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Gurcan Gungoren: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Moussa hit top pair on the {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop to take the lead, and the {6-Diamonds} turn improved him to a flush and left Gungoren drawing dead. The meaningless river came the {k-Spades} and Moussa doubled up.

After the hand, Genc admitted he folded pocket tens.
