A player in middle position opened to 4,000 and was called by a player from two seats over. Maher Achour in the hijack jammed for his last 5,000. Adel Naoun in the small blind called, as well as both players in middle position.
Everybody checked the 2♥3♥7♥ flop until the initial raiser bet 8,000 on the J♣ turn. Naoun was the only one to call.
On the 10♦ river, Naoun led out for 27,000, but the middle-position player raised to 67,000, forcing Naoun to fold a straight with 9♥8♦. It was a good fold as his opponent had A♥6♥ for the nut flush. Meanwhile, Achour was eliminated.
