Achour Picks Off Tannouri

Level 5 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Shuang Luo, who finished runner-up in the High Roller last night, entered the field at the break and immediately got involved in a pot as she called a 2,500 raise from Maher Achour.

Issam Tannouri then three-bet to 7,000 on the button and both players called. The flop came K?5?3? and Tannouri continued for 7,200. Achour and Luo both called again and the 2? fell on the turn.

The river was the 9? and Tannouri reached into the bottom of his stack and tossed two 25,000 chips in the middle for a bet of 50,000. Achour tanked for more than two minutes until he called, while Luo got out of the way.

"Ace high," Tannouri said as he mucked the A?. Achour showed K?J? as he took the big pot, climbing above 300,000.

"Good call, sir," Tannouri told him.

Simone Andrian, who won the Warm Up event earlier in this festival, also entered at the break.
