Sebii's Big Call Backfires
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Samir Sebii raised to 275,000 from the cutoff. Ahmed Blili and Hassan Atigh called from the button and big blind.
Sebii continued for 250,000 on the 8♦7♣3♥ flop, and was called in both spots.
He fired out another 350,000 on the 5♣ turn, and after some thinking time, Blili jammed for 1,720,000. Atigh folded, while Sebii went deep into the tank.
Sebii mulled over his options for several minutes before announcing call, Blili didn't seem best pleased.
Ahmed Blili: 9♠9♥
Samir Sebii: A♣K♠
Blili was surprised to see he was ahead, while there were some gasps from the table when Sebii showed his hand.
The 5♠ river was clean for Blili and he joined the big stacks.
