Morina’s Pair Puts El Yaacoubi in the Muck
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
With three players in the mix and a pot of around 3,700 already at stake, the flop came down 7♠A♥A♦. After Robertas Sakinis checked, Arber Morina made a bet of 1,000, which only Rachid El Yaacoubi chose to call.
Morina continued to take the lead on the J♦ turn with a bet of 1,500, but El Yaacoubi responded with a raise to 4,100, prompting Morina to call.
Both players checked when the K♠ hit the river, leading to a showdown. Morina revealed K♦4♦, having turned a flush draw that became a pair of aces and kings on the river. El Yaacoubi quickly mucked his cards, clearly not happy.
