Arutyunyan Agressive Play With Kings Pays Off
In the pot were around 177,000. The flop showed 9♥Q♠9♣. Dawn Mougel was already all in, and Serozh Arutyunyan checked in the big blind position to Anthony Ibrahim, who was sitting in the middle position and led out a bet of 20,000. Arutyunyan made the call.
On the 7♠ turn, it was again Ibrahim who fired another bet, this time for 53,000. But Arutyunyan decided to check-raise to 128,000. Ibrahim checked his cards multiple times before he made the call.
When the dealer turned the 2♣, Arutyunyan took the lead and fired a hefty bet of 256,000. Ibrahim took his time, weighing his options, but decided to fold, leading to a showdown between Mougel and Arutyunyan. Mougle had 7♥5♥ for two pair nines and sevens but Arutyunyan turned K♠K♦ for two pair kings and nines and scooped the sizeable main and sifepot, sending Mougel to the rail.
