Amokrane Ruins Into Zaks' Flush
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On his very first hand of the day, Mourad Amokrane opened to 2,200 from the cutoff and faced Kostya Zaks, who defended from the big blind.
He continued for 2,000 on the 2♠10♦J♥ flop but Zaks check-raised to 4,000. Amokrane called, and called again after Zaks fired a second barrel of 9,000 on the 4♠ turn.
Zaks asked for 24,000 on the K♠ river. "It's my first hand," Amokrane said to his neighbors. He eventually made the call, but lost the pot to Zaks' flush with 6♠3♠.
