Zouari Wins Pot With River Raise, Busts Moments Later
Action was on the flop on a board of K♠6♦2♠ and Mario Navarro Arrocha checked to his opponent. Jeremie Zouari bet 3,500 and Arrocha called. Both players then checked it back on the K♣ turn.
The river was the 4♥ and Arrocha bet 4,000. Zouari raised it up to 15,000 and Arrocha folded to give him the pot.
It looked like Zouari was ready to mount a comeback, but moments later he was involved in another pot, this time costing him his tournament life.
Action was on the river on a board of 3♦4♦6♣8♦9♣ with around 20,000 in the middle, when Zouari moved all in, an overbet to the pot. Daisuke Ogita thought about it for a moment before looking Zouari up with a call.
Zouari showed J♥2♦ for a bluff, while Ogita turned over A♠8♣ for a pair of eights, which was enough to win the pot and send Zouari to the rail.
