Dam Catches Zouine's Bluff

Brett Slezak

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

"Dam" opened to 2,400 from early position and was called by Smain Mamouni in the small blind. In the big blind, Adil Zouine squeezed to 7,200 and only Dam called.

The A♣9♠4♠ flop checked through to the 2♣ turn which saw Zouine lead for 5,000 and Dam put in the call.

The 7♥ peeled off on the river and Zouine kept the aggression by betting 10,000. Dam did not take long before he put in the call.

Adil Zouine: 8♠8♣
"Dam": A♥J♥

Dam checked back his top pair and got Zouine to bluff on the turn and river as he collected a modest pot to pad his stack.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mosjin El Yakoubi opened to 2,500 from the hijack and was called by Hassan Bady on the button and Mostafa El Belkhayate in the small blind.

The 10♠10♥6♠ flop checked through to the Q♥ turn which saw El Belkhayate lead for 10,000 from the small blind, and both El Yakoubi and Bady called.

The river brought the K♠. El Belkhayate cut out a bet of 20,000, El Yakoubi called instantly, and Bady folded. El Belkhayate tabled K♦10♣ for a rivered full house to drag a sizeable pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with around 35,000 in the middle in a hand between Guillaume Garcia from the cutoff and Dinh Nhat Nguyen from the big blind.

With the board reading Q♥6♦5♣J♠, Nguyen checked to Garcia who put out a bet of 27,000. In response, Nguyen check-jammed as the covering stack for around 100,000 effective, sending Garcia deep into the tank. Once the clock was called, Garcia flicked in a chip to call and the cards hit their backs.

Guillaume Garcia: A♠A♦ All in
Dinh Nhat Nguyen: J♥J♦

Nguyen had turned a set to crack the aces of Garcia who was almost able to find a fold. The 9♣ river did not help Garcia as he hit the exit in brutal fashion.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was picked up on the river in a hand between Otmane Smlali in the small blind and Hakim Toram from the cutoff.

With around 50,000 in the middle and the board reading 8♣7♠6♦10♦J♦, Smlali checked to Toram who put out a sizeable bet of 40,000. In response, Smlali check-jammed as the covering stack for 165,000 effective. Toral went deep into the tank as he contemplated his decision before he decided that his hand was too good to fold, and he called all-in.

Hakim Toram: 4♦3♦ All in
Otmane Smlali: A♦2♦

It was a brutal cooler with both players making runner-runner flush. Smlali collected the rest of Toram's chips as he becomes one of the largest stacks in the room.
