Chaoui and Quilez Smack the Flop
Level 26
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Mehdi Chaoui opened to 1,500,000 from the button before Mario Diaz Quilez jammed for 2,270,000 from the small blind. Punnat Punsri agonized in the big blind, using his last time bank while he thought.
"I think it's a call," he said rechecking his cards. In the end, he folded. Chaoui called and the cards were tabled.
Mario Diaz Quilez: 8♠8♣
Mehdi Chaoui: A♠Q♦
Chaoui made two pair on the A♣Q♣8♦ flop but Quilez spiked a set to remain ahead. The 10♠ turn and 2♦ river confirmed Quilez's double and his position at the final table.
