Achour Spikes a Two-Outer to Bust Matti on the Bubble
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
With around 315,000 in the pot on a board of 4♣2♦7♣9♦, Armand Matti bet 350,000 from the cutoff and Maher Achour moved all in under the gun. Matti snap-called for around 980,000.
"If you have more than one pair, you win," Achour told Matti as they waited to turn over their cards.
Achour eventually showed A♠A♦, but Matti had 4♠4♥ for a set and was poised for a massive double up. The river, though, was the A♣ and a loud gasp arose from the large crowd surrounding the table as Achour hit a set of aces. Matti stopped to snap a photo of the board, then leaned across the table to shake Achour's hand before heading for the exit.
