El-Yaacoubi Puts a Brutal Cooler on Nakhjavani

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With around 50,000 in the pot on a board of 866Q, Rachid El-Yaacoubi bet 12,000 from the button before Saman Nakhjavani raised to 30,000 in the hijack.

El-Yaacoubi called and the 2 fell on the river. Nakhjavani then moved all in and El-Yaacoubi snap-called for his last 33,500, turning over QQ for a turned full house.

Nakhjavani shot back in his seat in stunned silence upon seeing El-Yaacoubi's hand. "Eights?" tablemate Milad Oghabian asked, and Nakhjavani eventually did turn over 88 for a no-good flopped full house before handing over most of his stack.
