Toujani Binks the River to Double
Niveau 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Kostadin Kostadinov opened the hijack to 6,000 and Fouad Toujani shoved from the big blind for around 50,000. Kostadinov was indecisive about his action but eventually settled on a call, which left Toujani at risk.
Fouad Toujani: K♦J♦ 
Kostadin Kostadinov: 8♠8♣
Toujani stood up, willing his hand to win the race, but didn't get any help on the 10♣3♣10♦ flop. The Q♥ did give Toujani a lot more outs as he improved to an open-ended straight draw, and he completed that draw with the A♦ on the river, which earned him a double-up.
