Mhiri Spikes the River to Bust Spragg; Camarda Calls Him Down With Ace-High
Chakib Mhiri just busted Team PokerStars Pro Benjamin Spragg thanks to a lucky river, and he and tablemate Alexandre Vuilleumier filled in the details.
Spragg three-bet to 50,000 in the small blind and Mhiri called on the button. The flop came Ax7x5x with two hearts and Spragg bet 40,000. Mhiri called and Spragg moved all in on the turn for 140,000.
Mhiri called with ace-jack, but Spragg had him dominated with ace-king until a jack arrived on the river to earn Mhiri the pot and send Spragg to the rail.
Mhiri also got involved in the next hand, betting 12,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 10♠6♠3♣ and Salvatore Camarda called in the big blind.
The turn was the Q♣ and Mhiri bet another 35,000. Camarda again called to the 10♣ river, where Mhiri bet 25,000. Camarda called once more and Mhiri showed K♦9♦ for a bluff. Camarda turned over A♥J♣ for ace-high as he took the pot.
