El-Yousfi Takes an Aggressive Line
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Valentin Devooght opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and was called by Damien Luis on the button and Ferreol Motte in the small blind. Said El-Yousfi then raised to 12,500 from the big blind, folding out Devooght and Motte while Luis made the call.
The flop came 7♥6♠3♣ and El-Yousfi bet 12,000. Luis made the call.
El-Yousfi bet 12,000 again on the A♠ turn, leaving only about 20,000 behind. Luis made the call.
Both players checked the Q♠ river.
El-Yousfi tabled Q♦2♠ for a pure bluff that turned into a pair of queens on the river. Luis' hand hit the muck and El-Yousfi collected a sizable pot.
