Isaia Doubles Through Boujenah

Ilan Boujenah
Ilan Boujenah

One of the first hands of the day also happens to be one of the biggest of the tournament so far.

Alessio Isaia, himself a WPT champion, opened from under the gun and the action folded to Ilan Boujenah in the small blind. He checked his cards and three-bet to 21,000. Isaia then four-bet, Boujenah shoved for 300,000 and Isaia beat him into the pot with a call.

Boujenah: {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Isaia: {K-Hearts}{k-Spades}

An ill-timed move by Boujenah looked to be rewards as the first two cards on the flop were the {9-Spades} and {7-Spades}. However, the third flop card was the {K-Clubs} gifting Isaia a set. The turn and river were the {8-Hearts} and {j-Spades} and Boujenah plummets to 95,000.
