Caught on a Fishhook

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Aussie Michel Bouskila is playing in the Amazon Room, with the banner celebrating his countryman Joe Hachem's 2005 Main Event title, and he just had a decent cup of sugar passed his way.

We caught the action with the flop reading {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, as Bouskila and another player were exposing their hole cards after getting it all in. The man from Down Under held {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for a flopped set, which put him way ahead of the {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} held by his opponent.

The turn ({2-Hearts}) and river ({K-Spades}) changed nothing, and Bouskila doubled his 207,000 through to put himself well above the current average nearing the end of this second day of play.
