Am Takes the Lead

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

While Bernard Graffouillere and Fadhil Farag ran out of chips, Rachid Am vaulted into the top spot after scooping a big pot against Imad Derwiche and Louis Linard.

Derwiche had raised and picked up both calls from Linard in the hijack and Am in the cutoff. The flop of {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} was checked through and Derwiche then bet the {8-Diamonds} turn for 15,000, which resulted in two calls. Derwiche also bet the {J-Spades} river for 15,000 and Linard called before Am raised to 45,000.

Derwiche folded but Linard called to muck once Am turned over the {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a backdoor straight as winning hand.
