Maher Achour Bubbles the Main Event
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
It took until the ninth hand of hand-for-hand until there was an all in and a call. Maher Achour moved all in from the button for 380,000 and Gang Zhao tanked for a minute in the small blind before calling.
Maher Achour: 10?10?
Gang Zhao: A?J?
Achour remained in the lead on the 4?5?8? flop as he got up from his seat. The turn, though, was the J? and Achour threw his arms in the air in frustration as Zhao spiked a pair.
The river was the 7? and Zhao won the pot to eliminate Achour on the money bubble. The remaining 80 players are now all in the money.
