Bachar Didn't See It Coming
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Moments after Cecile Ticherfatine ran into aces to be eliminated, Nacim Amakrane in early position raised all-in for 291,000 on a board of 7♥A♥10♦5♥ with 110,000 in the pot. Bachar to his left went deep into the tank and eventually called for roughly 100,000.
Bachar: A♠5♠ 
Nacim Amakrane: A♣Q♥
Bachar called with two pair and thought he had the win after the 8♥ river landed on the felt. He clenched his fist but his table mates quickly told him that Amakrane hit a flush on the river and that he was eliminated.
