Achour Hurts O'Dea
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
In the first hand after the dinner break, Maher Achour raised all in on the button. Eoghan O'Dea thought about it for some time, before making the call in the big blind.
Maher Achour: A♠8♦
Eoghan O'Dea: K♥Q♦
This marked the second time this evening that, Achour had shoved with ace-eight off.
This time his lead was maintained in a runout of 2♥2♣J♣8♥10♥, with Achour pairing his eight on the turn for the double-up.
That cost O'Dea dearly. He would be knocked out of the tournament at the final table, two hands later.
