Big Slick Goes Down in Flames for Achour
Maher Achour opened to 8,000 from early position and Day 1d chip leader Vedat Yilmaz called from the hijack. Naji Azar moved all in for 166,000 and Achour made the call with a covering stack. Vedat Yilmaz then called off with his stack of 89,500 and was also at risk.
Vedat Yilmaz: 10♣9♣
Naji Tannoury: A♥Q♦
Maher Achour: A♣K♠
Achour seemed poised to score the double knockout with the best hand preflop but the Q♥3♣J♣ flop gave Azar the lead with a pair of queens while Yilmaz had both a flush and a straight draw. The 2♦ turn changed nothing but the 7♣ river gave Yilmaz the flush and he scored a full triple up while Azar took the side pot. Achour, who had started with the best hand and ended with the worst one, took a small hit to his stack but is still over double the average stack at this time.
