Najim Makes the Right Call to Bust Canetti
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
A large pot of around 105,000 had formed on the turn in a pot between Jeremie Canetti from under the gun and Yassine Najim from the cutoff.
With the board reading A?4?2?10?, Canetti jammed his remaining 84,500 into the middle which sent Najim into the tank. After a minute of deliberation, he slide his chips forward to call, committing over half of his remaining stack.
Jeremie Canetti: A?8?
Yassine Najim: A?Q?
Both players had top pair but Najim's kicker was better. However, Canetti could spike a heart or eight to double. Luckily for Najim, the river was a blank K? and Najim's queen played to bust Canetti.
