Light Button Three-Bet Works for Maamar
Level 25
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jozef Cibicek opened to 50,000 from the cutoff, before Ramdhane Ben Maamar produced a three-bet to 175,000 on the button.
Nicolas Jean was in the big blind, and after taking some time for thought, he cold four-bet jammed for 490,000. Cibicek quickly got out of the way, but Maamar felt he was priced in and made the call.
Nicolas Jean: Q♥Q♠ 
Ramdhane Ben Maamar: J♠6♠
Maamar had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but the A♠4♥2♠ flop spelt danger for Jean.
The K♠ turn completed Maamar's flush, and Jean couldn't find the redraw on the 9♣ river.
"Sorry bro, good game" said Maamar, and Jean took the beat with class, wishing the table good luck as he departed.
