El-Ayache Slow Plays His Way to a Double
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Azat Jafarov raised in the cutoff and Mazen El-Ayache called in the small blind. Evgenii Tambovtsev then moved all in from the big blind, Jafarov folded, while El-Ayache called for 485,000.
Mazen El-Ayache: K?K? 
Evgenii Tambovtsev: J?J?
El-Ayache had successfully trapped Tambovtsev with his kings as the 3?7?5?4?A? board kept him in the lead to earn him a double up.
"He saved you. Ace-deuce of hearts. Good trap," Jafarov told El-Ayache after the hand.
