Iche Close to the Title
Level 36
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Jonathan Bonnin limped the button with 5♠4♠. Mohamed Iche raised in the big blind to 1,700,000 with A♠J♣. Bonnin called.
On the 9♦3♦8♣ flop, Iche checked, and Bonnin slid out a bet of 1,100,000. Iche called.
The turn brought the 2♥ and Iche checked once more. Bonnin checked behind.
The 8♦ river completed the board and Iche checked for a third time. Bonnin slid out a bet of 4,000,000, leaving himself only 3,000,000 behind.
Iche thought it through for a bit, and flicked in a calling chip, making a superb hero call with ace-high versus Bonnin's five-high, having missed his turned up and down straight drawn.
Bonnin is now left with crumbs and this may well turn out to be the killer blow.
