Jazzar Hoping For a Flush, Finds a Straight Instead
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Maroun Jazzar in the big blind, Yassin Mahmoud in the cutoff, and Ermanno Di Nicola in middle position each got all their chips in the middle on a flop of 8?4?9?. Di Nicola had both players covered and at risk.
Maroun Jazzar: A?5?
Yassin Mahmoud: Q?9?
Ermanno Di Nicola: 8?8?
Di Nicola was in the lead with a set of eights, Mahmoud had top pair, while Jazzar was chasing the nut flush draw. The 3? turn kept Di Nicola in the lead, but the 2? fell on the river and Jazzar made a running straight. He tripled up for around 60,000, while Mahmoud, who was all in for 85,000, was eliminated by Di Nicola in the side pot.
"That's a good one. I like to gamble," Jazzar said.
