Brutal Two-Outer Sees M'Hiri Lose the Biggest Pot of the Tournament So Far
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Chakib M'Hiri raised to 23,000 from early position before Jakub Michalak three-bet the button to 70,000. After the blinds folded, M'Hiri four-bet to 205,000. Michalak jammed for M'Hiri's remaining 450,000, and M'Hiri snap-called.
Chakib M'Hiri: A♥A♠ 
Jakub Michalak: K♠K♥
It was poker's classic cooler in what was the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
The dealer slowly revealed the flop of K♣Q♠2♠ to propel Michalak into the lead with a set of kings. The 3♠ turn gave M'Hiri a flush draw, but the 4♦ hit the river. Michalak moved up to around 1,500,000, while M'Hiri just had a bad beat story to tell for his efforts.
