Hanami Has The Right Read
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ceyhan Berand opened to 12,000 and Christophe Panetti called. Leon Sturm then squeezed to 50,000 in the cutoff and Zaki Hanami cold-called on the button, Berand called and Panetti folded.
They checked the 10♠4♦3♣ flop and Berand then bet the 3♠ turn for 35,000, only Hanami called. Berand bet another 75,000 on the K♣ river and Hanami tank-called.
"Queen high," Berand announced before reluctantly revealing his Q♥J♠. Hanami won the pot with the 9♦9♠ to leave Panetti somewhat surprised.
