"Thanks for the Game, Guys. Good Luck:" Sami Shokry Bubbles EPT Prague Main Event

HillKerby

Niveau 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Preflop action saw Sami Shokry get his last 21,000 into the middle from the big blind with action from the three players to his left. Those players were the under-the-gun Max Deveson, Johann Zeitoun in early position, and Yehuda Cohen in middle position.

At this point, action was held up as Nazim Shala was all in against Krasimir Yankov on another table and that runout was slated to go first. Shala locked in the double and it was time to get back to action with a three-handed side pot as the flop dropped . Deveson and Zeitoun checked over to Cohen and he fired out 20,000, which Deveson called.

Once Zeitoun folded to bring action heads up for the side pot, the turn came and Deveson checked again. Cohen fired out another 25,000 and Deveson put out chips to match it.

"Whoa!" said Cohen after seeing Deveson call. The river came and Deveson checked again.

"I think I win," said Cohen, checking behind. Eventually, players were instructed to table their hands.

Sami Shokry:
Max Deveson:
Yehuda Cohen:

Cohen's aces were best all along, fading the flush draw and top pair that Deveson picked up along the way. Meanwhile, Shokry's pair of sixes on the flop became two pair by the river, but it was the worst hand of the three and he found himself eliminated from the tournament in 168th place.

"Thanks for the game guys," said Shokry with nothing but the utmost class. "Good luck," he added, putting on his jacket and making his way from the tournament area as the announcement came that play had reached the money.
