Top Pair for El Yaacoubi
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Samy Boujmala opened to 3,000 from the cutoff and faced both players in the blinds.
The dealer fanned a flop of J♥10♥K♦ where Boujmala continued for 1,500. He was called twice again.
All three of them checked the 2♠ turn, leading to the 7♦ river where Yannick Lalou in the small blind bet 3,500. El Yaacoubi quickly called with K♠6♥ for top pair, while Boujmala folded.
Lalou had J♦9♣ for a lower pair so the pot went into El Yaacoubi's direction.
