Souissi Bounces Back; Mai Recovers Losses
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Earlier on, Bien Mai had hit a set with a small pocket pair to win a bigger pot off Selim Souissi and the Tunisian struck back in a three-way showdown when his pocket sevens were up against two ace-kings on an ace-seven high flop.
Mai barely felt the loss, however, as he then barreled against Seunghun Ko shortly after. The K?4?2?7? turn bet was worth 15,500 for Ko to call. What followed was the 9? river, which saw Mai with another bet of 40,000 and Ko folded.
