Samaha Sends Morozovs Packing

Whether he would care to admit it, or not, Bernard Samaha must be having thoughts of grandeur in the back of his mind after continuing to steamroll his way through this Cypriot field.

He is now up to 450k after eliminating the European journeyman, Mihail Morozovs, in the following hand.

Morozovs min-raises from the button and Bernard Samaha calls in the big blind. The flop is [Ax] [Jx] [4x] and Samaha check-calls a 4,500 Morozovs c-bet. The turn card is the [5x], and this time Samaha check-raises to 22,000 after an initial 7,500 Morozovs bet. The Latvian moves all-in and Samaha makes the call.

Showdown

Samaha: [5h] [4h]
Morozovs: [Ax] [3x]

It’s two pair for Samaha and just a pair and gutshot for Morozovs. The [Kx], completes the action on the river and Morozovs is out.
