Aces No Good for Mahmoud
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Yassin Mahmoud raised to 25,000 from the cutoff, with Wim ben Verhaegen calling in the small blind and Aleksei Gortikov defending his big blind.
Both blinds checked the 9♣9♥J♠ flop and Mahmoud continued for 32,000. That produced a call from ben Verhaegen and a fold from Gortikov.
The dealer flipped over the K♣ turn and ben Verhaegen checked again. Mahmoud tossed out 50,000 but was quickly raised to 125,000. Mahmoud moved all in and ben Verhaegen called.
Yassin Mahmoud: A♠A♥
Wim ben Verhaegen: J♦9♦
Mahmoud saw the bad news as ben Verhaegen had flopped a full house. The 6♦ river changed nothing, with Mahmoud exiting the tournament and ben Verhaegen chipping up.
