Nouira Brags About Chip Lead; Becomes Shortest Stack
Only a few minutes ago, Maher Nouira was the chip leader and has suddenly become the shortest stack.
He opened to 80,000 and Jorryt van Hoof three-bet to 320,000 in the big blind. While studying the other stacks, Nouira asked "am I the chip leader?" Jamil Wakil shook his head, then replied "no ... well, maybe after this hand." Nouira then called and the flop came 
. Van Hoof bet 320,000 and Nouira snap-folded.
The next hand saw Nouira with the same open raise and Rodrigo Seiji called in the big blind. Following the 
flop, Seiji check-jammed for 650,000 and Nouira called following his continuation bet of 70,000.
Rodrigo Seiji: 
Maher Nouira: 
The top pair of Seiji held after the 
turn and 
as he then added "you shouldn't brag about the chip lead" with a very dry voice and smile on the face. Nouira chuckled as he suddenly dropped to the shortest stack among the final four.
