Ahmed Mohamed was among three players to tangle with WSOP bracelet winner Yueqi Zhu, who raised under the gun before the flop.
The aggressive play didn’t deter calls from a player in middle position, Mohamed, who was in the small blind, and Paul Dockal, who sat in the big blind.
The flop produced 6♦K♦7♦, prompting Mohamed and Dockal to check. Zhu continued with a bet, and the player in middle position immediately folded.
Mohamed, though, put in a check-raise, which caused Dockal to fold. Zhu briefly looked down at the board before making the call to the turn. With the 3♥ on the board, both players checked, and the river brought A♣, which Mohamed immediately bet and Zhu called.
Mohamed tabled A♦K♥ for top two pair, while Zhu flashed an Ace in his hand as he mucked his hand.
“I know,” Mohamed told his opponent. “You’re no dummy, Mr. Zhu. I thought you had ace-queen or ace-jack. I promise I won’t check-raise next time. I’m sorry, Mr. Zhu.”
Mohamed’s remarks brought chuckles from the table.
