Nouira Doubles Through Lau
Niveau 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
From early position, Ka Kwan Lau raised to 80,000. Then on the button, Maher Nouira three-bet all in for 465,000 chips. Lau asked for the count and called.
Maher Nouira: K♥J♥
Ka Kwan Lau: 4♥4♦
The tournament director froze the action, waiting for the second table to end its hand. And it took a long time, so Nouira's friends had time to gather behind him to support him.
Finally, both players flipped their cards, and Nouira hit a pair of jacks on the flop 5♥J♦7♥. The 7♠ came on the turn, and Nouira's supporters cheered when the river 2♣ was revealed.
