Selim Oulmekki Comes Out Atop Preflop Raising War

Following an open to 7,000 by Zihan Cong in early position and calls by Zhuan You Chua in middle position and Xu Dong Jin on the button, Selim Oulmekki (pictured) squeezes to 36,500 from the small blind.

Cong quickly folds, but Chua goes into the tank briefly before cutting out a four-bet to 82,000. This prompts a quick fold from Jin, but Oulmekki immediately five-bets all in for approximately 240,000 total.

Chua quickly aborts his re-steal attempt, folding his cards, as Oulmekki picks up about 100,000 chips without seeing a flop.

Selim Oulmekki – 312,000 (104 bb)
Zhuan You Chua – 223,000 (74 bb)
Xu Dong Jin – 210,000 (70 bb)
Zihan Cong – 155,000 (51 bb)
