Maher Achour Bubbles the Main Event
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
It took until the ninth hand of hand-for-hand until there was an all in and a call. Maher Achour moved all in from the button for 380,000 and Gang Zhao tanked for a minute in the small blind before calling.
Maher Achour: 10♦10♥
Gang Zhao: A♣J♦
Achour remained in the lead on the 4♣5♥8♣ flop as he got up from his seat. The turn, though, was the J♥ and Achour threw his arms in the air in frustration as Zhao spiked a pair.
The river was the 7♥ and Zhao won the pot to eliminate Achour on the money bubble. The remaining 80 players are now all in the money.
