Souissi Bounces Back; Mai Recovers Losses
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Earlier on, Bien Mai had hit a set with a small pocket pair to win a bigger pot off Selim Souissi and the Tunisian struck back in a three-way showdown when his pocket sevens were up against two ace-kings on an ace-seven high flop.
Mai barely felt the loss, however, as he then barreled against Seunghun Ko shortly after. The K♦4♥2♦7♦ turn bet was worth 15,500 for Ko to call. What followed was the 9♦ river, which saw Mai with another bet of 40,000 and Ko folded.
