Diamond In The Sky
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Zahir Messouat was slowly building his stack when he played a monster hand, one hour ago.
He raised with 
and was call by a morrocan player in position, Mohamed A.. Zahir chose to check-call on a 
flop but he check-raised all-in for almost 140,000 chips on the 
turn. Bad timing for Zahir as Mohamed turbo-called with 
for a little less chips.
A river 
created a monster chipleader as Zahir have close to 300,000 chips and the end of the Day 1B is looming.
