El Meray Has Tran Beat by One
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Heads-up on a flop of K♠4♥9♥, Mehdi El Meray bet 2,500 on the button before Minh Hieu Tran raised out of the small blind to 7,000.
El Meray called to the 2♣ turn, where Tran slowed down and checked. El Meray then fired out 11,000 and Tran called.
The river came the 6♥ and Tran checked yet again. El Meray checked back this time and Tran showed K♦J♦. El Meray, though, had K♣Q♣ to win the pot with his pair of kings, queen-kicker.
