Mehamed Tries a Hero Call Against Goossens
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Guy Goossens raised to 25,000 under the gun and Alan Mehamed three-bet to 80,000 in the hijack. The table folded back around to Goossens and he called.
The flop came 5♦3♠8♥ and Mehamed continued for 60,000. Goossens called and the 7♥ fell on the turn.
Mehamed then bet another 225,000 and Goossens, wearing his hood low over his head, called to the 4♠ river.
Goossens then moved all in for 386,000 and Mehamed tanked for a minute before calling. Goossens turned over 6♥5♥ for the rivered straight and Mehamed mucked his cards before the dealer exposed his A♠K♦.
Reigning WSOP Europe champion Omar Eljach, already with a bracelet this year, has seen a slow start to his day.
