Achour's Queens No Good
Nível 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Akin Tuna opened from under the gun to 200,000 and Maher Achour called in the hijack Han Han also called on the button.
The three saw a flop of 8♦7♠5♥ where Tuna checked and Achour bet 225,000. Han folded, but Tuna called to see the 3♦ drop on the turn, After Tuna checked again, Achour reached for more chips and bet 425,000. Tuna called.
When the 5♠ completed the board, both players knuckled the table and Tuna showed K♦K♣ for a pair of kings. Achour showed Q♦Q♥ for a pair of queens, and will be happy that he lost the minimum in that hand.
