Taghla Doubles Through Franco
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Mohamed Taghla, in the blinds was joking with Sonny Franco in middle position despite being all-in and at risk for 28,500 against the multiple WSOP Circuit ring winner.
Mohamed Taghla: Q♠9♥ 
Sonny Franco: A♣Q♣
Taghla stood up and after a flop of J♠4♥2♣, he hit the 9♠ on the turn. “Sit down, it’s not allowed to stand up,” Franco said, as if standing up were a sign of bad luck for him. The J♦ on the river changed nothing, and Taghla doubled up.
