Ivanov Takes Back the Chip Lead; Achour Left on Fumes
Level 29
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Maher Achour raised to 300,000 from the hijack and Lyudmil Ivanov three-bet to 600,000 from the cutoff. After the rest of the table folded, Achour flicked in the call.
The flop came down 6♣10♠3♠ and Achour check-called a bet of 350,000 from Ivanov.
The 5♦ landed on the turn and Achour check-called another bet from Ivanov, this time for 500,000.
The A♠ river caused both players to check and Achour turned over a pair of tens with K♦10♥. This was second best to the Q♣Q♠ of Ivanov for a pair of queens.
