Dirty Diaper on Table #14

Calum Grant

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Sing Boun opened to 1,200 from under the gun and was called by Ali Alawadhi and Guillaume Bailet-Goiran.

The action checked through to the river for the board to read K♠8♠4♣3♣A♣. Nobody took a stab at the pot and the cards were tabled.

Boun and Alawadhi had queen-high with Q♥10♥ and Q♠5♠ respectively. However, they were both pipped to the small pot by Bailet-Goiran, who had 3♠2♦. His pair of threes with the 'Dirty Diaper' was good for the spoils.

On the one table over, Guillaume Darcourt doubled through Eric Apikan to move his stack over 130,000.
