Achour Spikes the River to Bust Zanardi
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Simone Andrian raised to 80,000 in early position and was called by Matteo Zanardi in middle position, Maher Achour on the button, and big blind Basel Khabbazeh.
Action checked to Zanardi on the 9♠5♠2♣ flop and he bet 125,000. Only Achour called. The turn was the 8♥ and Zanardi bet another 280,000.
Achour again called and the 7♥ fell on the river. Zanardi then moved all in for 580,000 and Achour called with 9♦7♦ for two pair. Zanardi mucked K♥K♦ as Achour took the pot to climb up near 6,000,000.
