Lahmani Forces Out Franco
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
In a single-raised pot with 200,000 each in the middle to the Q♦8♥3♦ flop, Kabeelan Rajamurthy checked out of the small blind and Oshri Lahmani bet 280,000 in the big blind. Sonny Franco as the initial raiser called and Rajamurthy folded.
Lahmani potted the 4♥ turn for 1,280,000 with few chips behind and Franco tank-folded.
"I have a very strong hand," Lahmani said and exposed the A♥Q♥10♦6♦ for top pair and two flush draws.
Franco responded "kings with king-high flush draw" but never showed his cards.
Manh Nguyen then raised to 220,000 and Rajamurthy called on the button. Nguyen continued for 500,000 on the 8♥4♠3♣ flop to take it down.
"Top set," Lahmani in the small blind said and Nguyen replied "I had outs".
