Achour's Queens No Good
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Akin Tuna opened from under the gun to 200,000 and Maher Achour called in the hijack Han Han also called on the button.
The three saw a flop of 8?7?5? where Tuna checked and Achour bet 225,000. Han folded, but Tuna called to see the 3? drop on the turn, After Tuna checked again, Achour reached for more chips and bet 425,000. Tuna called.
When the 5? completed the board, both players knuckled the table and Tuna showed K?K? for a pair of kings. Achour showed Q?Q? for a pair of queens, and will be happy that he lost the minimum in that hand.
