Avci Right Back in the Saddle

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Asaf Avci raised to 2,500 from the button and the two blinds called including Samir Maukawem in the big blind. The flop was {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. The small blind checked and Maukawem led for 3,500. Relentless, Avce raised to 7,000. The small blind folded and Maukawem asked, “How much? Seven thousand?.” He made the call and we saw a turn card of {a-Diamonds}.

Before the dealer could take her hand off the card Maukawem slammed the rest of his chips down over the line. Just as quickly Avci called. Maukawem had {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} but Avci held {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}. The turn had given Maukawem top two, but Avci straight was the best hand. The river was the {3-Clubs} and Avci claimed another victim.
