Adam Knocks Out Mazor

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Rayhaan Adam raised and then called a three-bet shove by Nadav Mazor for eleven blinds out of the blinds.

Nadav Mazor: K♣8♣ All in
Rayhaan Adam: J♦9♥

The 10♣8♥2♠ flop gave Adam an open-ended straight draw and the 7♣ turn improved Adam to the straight. He needed to dodge clubs and did so with the 3♥ river. Mazor sighed, grabbed his belongings and told the bad news to his brother Elai before heading out of the tournament area.
