Achour Gets Good on River
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Maher Achour raised to 80,000 in middle position. Mauro Ferreira, seated next to him, made the call in the hijack.
The flop hit K♦4♣8♥. Achour bet 75,000 and Ferreira called.
The two did the same dance on the turn of the 9♣, with Achour's bet being 210,000 chips.
The river brought the Q♥. This time Achour checked. Ferreira fired 350,000 at the pot.
Achour went into a lengthy tank. It was so long in fact that the clock was called on him by a tablemate. When the timer got down to two seconds, Achour dropped in a calling chip.
Ferreira showed Q♣Q♠. He had rivered a set.
Achour didn't show.
