More Chips For Emad

In a battle of the blinds Emad Tahtouh was in the middle of the action once again as he fired 3,500 on a board of {Q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. His opponent the put in the old min-check-raise to 7,000.

"Argh, I can't raise, so I guess I have to call," sighed Tahtouh.

His opponent tabled {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the rivered flush.

"Thank god!" said Tahtouh as he revealed {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for the bigger flush. "He showed the {5-Hearts} first and then I thought I was screwed unless he had the {4-Hearts} or {3-Hearts} or was doing some funky min-raise bluff," Tahtouh added as his active day continues to add to his chip stack as he's now over 35,000 chips.
