Cabret's Ace High Good In Five Way Action

Preflop, Joe Cabret limped from under the gun. "What your not raising?" queried Sam Khouiss, before calling from middle position.

Carl Booth got in on the action and limped off the button, with Con Tsapkounis and Michel Bouskila coming along out of the blinds.

The mass of players checked the {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop and {5-Diamonds} turn. On the {9-Diamonds} river the pot looked set to be checked-down until Booth bet 60,000 as the last player to act.

Joe Cabret was the only caller and the players tabled their cards.

Cabret rolled over {A-Spades}{k-Spades} with his ace kicker playing over Booth's {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

Cabret Forces A Tsapkounis Fold

Preflop, Con Tsapkounis opened to 75,000 chips with Joe Cabret calling out of the small blind. The flop came {2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

Cabret checked to Tsapkounis who fired 105,000. Cabret wasn’t fooled, moving all in covering Tsapkounis.

Tsapkounis thought about things a moment, and then folded his cards, saying, “Flush draw”. After a pause he added, “I probably should have checked the flop”.
