Zurr Avoids Disaster
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Elie Farah opened to 10,000 from under the gun and was called by a player in early position, Shai Zurr on the button and Tugce Hursoz in the big blind.
The flop came J♠K♦4♠ and action checked around to Mahmoud who bet 13,000. Zurr called, Hursoz folded and Farah called.
Mahmoud continued for 22,000 when checked to on the 3♣ turn. Once again both Zurr and Farah called.
All three players checked the 9♥ river. Mahmoud had top pair with K♥5♥, Farah had missed with A♠3♠ for the nut-flush draw and Zurr had K♠Q♠ for top pair and a missed second nut-flush draw which was good to take the pot.
