Nakhoul Runs Into "Ma's" Cowboys
Mehmet Deniz opened to 175,000 from middle position and "Ma" three-bet to 525,000 from the cutoff. Fadi Nakhoul then four-bet to 1,175,000 out of the small blind, which got Deniz to quickly fold.
With the action on "Ma", he eventually five-bet shoved for over 3,000,000, and Nakhoul shrugged his shoulders and called for his stack of around 2,750,000.
Fadi Nakhoul: J♠J♥
"Ma": K♠K♥
Nakhoul was in a spot of bother with his pocket jacks, and the runout of 10♦7♠5♠5♥2♦ brought no surprises, which meant he was eliminated.
"Ma", who started the day with around 800,000, has well over 6,000,000!
On another table, Vladimir Erceg had his pocket deuces in the middle against the pocket tens of Gabriel Akiki. The board changed nothing, and Erceg hit the rail.
