Nakache Almost Doubles Up Without Any Showdown
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Not long after he joined the tournament, WSOP bracelet winner Elie Nakache called from the hijack after a player in early position opened to 3,000 and was called once.
The dealer fanned a flop of K♣J♦7♠ where everybody checked to Nakache, who bet 3,000. The early-position player check-raised to 8,000, making the third player fold, but Nakache eventually made the call.
The 6♦ turn was checked by both players, then the early-position player bet 12,500 on the 5♣ river. Nakache raised all-in and made his opponent immediately fold. The table broke after this hand.
