Achour Spikes a Two-Outer to Bust Matti on the Bubble
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
With around 315,000 in the pot on a board of 4?2?7?9?, Armand Matti bet 350,000 from the cutoff and Maher Achour moved all in under the gun. Matti snap-called for around 980,000.
"If you have more than one pair, you win," Achour told Matti as they waited to turn over their cards.
Achour eventually showed A?A?, but Matti had 4?4? for a set and was poised for a massive double up. The river, though, was the A? and a loud gasp arose from the large crowd surrounding the table as Achour hit a set of aces. Matti stopped to snap a photo of the board, then leaned across the table to shake Achour's hand before heading for the exit.
