Noubarian Wins a Pot Off Avci by a Whisker

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Tangle with Avci at your peril it seems, but Majid Noubarian hasn’t survived this long without putting himself in some marginal spots. On a flop of {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} Avci led for 2,200 and Noubarian called. The turn brought the {7-Diamonds}. Avci led again for 1,700 and was prepared to call a raise from Noubarian to 3,500. They both checked the river {5-Clubs}. “Jack.” Said Avci and showed {j-Diamonds}. Noubarian turned over {j-Spades}{q-Hearts} and waited to see if Avci could beat that. He couldn’t, he showed {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.
