Toufik Wins Massive Flip Near the Money
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Adrian Lipe opened to 20,000 from early position. Toufik threw in a three-bet to 60,000 to Lipe's left, and action folded to small blind Nil Mestari. He moved all in, covering all opponents that still had action. Lipe went extremely deep into the tank, but eventually let his cards go. Toufik sat back, laughed, and stuck in a call.
Toufik: A♠K♠
Nil Mestari: J♠J♥
The Q♥10♣6♣ flop gave Toufik some extra outs, before the K♥ was dealt on the turn, giving him the lead. Lipe banged the table as it came out. The 6♠ river sealed a massive double for Toufik, as Mestari saw his stack halved.
Lipe told tablemate Ayoub Khlifi Hajji in Spanish that he had folded ace-jack.
