Zouari Loses Two Big Pots in Quick Succession

PokerNews witnessed a tough stretch for Jeremie Zouari, who found himself on the losing end of two sizable pots.

The first came when Zouari, in early position, faced off against Vidar Oie on the button. With around 85,000 already in the pot and the board showing 6♥10♦8♣5♠3♥, Zouari checked, and Oie responded with a massive 80,000-chip bet. Zouari quickly called, but Oie revealed Q♣Q♦ for an overpair, while Zouari's cards were swiftly discarded into the muck.

A few hands later, Zouari was back in action from the big blind with an 11,000 bet after the pot stood at around 20,000 and the flop showed 6♦8♠4♥. Both Clement Poletti and Christopher Grantham called.

On the 6♣ turn, Zouari led out with another 19,500 bet, but only Poletti called.

As the 2♦ fell on the river, Zouari checked, and Poletti checked back. Zouari showed 10♠7♦ for a gutshot straight draw, but Poletti had the winning hand with 10♥8♥, two pair of eights and sixes, securing the pot and leaving Zouari reeling after two tough hands.
