El-Yaacoubi Spikes the Turn Again

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Rachid El-Yaacoubi and Razvan Sabau were heads-up on a flop of K♠J♠4♣ when Sabau got his last 100,000 in the middle from the cutoff and El-Yaacoubi put him at risk on the button.

Razvan Sabau: K♦9♣ All in
Rachid El-Yaacoubi: A♠10♣

Sabau was ahead with his pair of kings, but the Q♣ turn improved El-Yaacoubi to the nut straight and left Sabau drawing dead. The river was the 8♠ and El-Yaacoubi scored the knockout.

"Yum, yum," he said as he raked in the pot.
