Felipe Ain't E-mad

[user66118]

Emad Tahtouh just tangled with Filipe Pacheco in a big preflop confrontation. Pacheco ended up getting all 4,500 of his chips into the pot, and Tahtouh was right there with him, having Pacheco well covered.

Showdown:
Pacheco: {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

Tahtouh:

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

The flop managed to trip up both players as it fell {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

. Despite finding a nine, Pacheco was left drawing extremely slim to Tahtouh's set of kings. The turn added a few more outs for him though, as the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

gave him a flush draw as well. Sure enough, the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

drilled the river, giving Pacheco the unlikely come-from-behind win, and doubling him up to 9,000. Tahtouh is down to 17,000.
