"I Really Don't Believe You Have the Flush!"
As we arrived at table 24 we witnessed two Dutch players battling it out. The board was and David Boyaciyan in the big blind had bet out 12,000. Abdelhakim Zoufri on the button raised it up to 27,600 and Boyaciyan went into the tank.
Boyaciyan, who finished 2nd in this event to Martin Finger back in 2011 for �535,000 and 3rd to Sotirios Koutoupas (2nd) and Ramzi Jelassi (1st) in 2012 for �310,00, said "I really don't believe you have the flush!"
"Pay and you'll see!" Zoufri replied with a tiny smile.
Boyaciyan wasn't so sure yet and continued to tank. "We never played before huh?" Boyaciyan asked his country man. "We did, but I never made an impression apparently" Zoufri said.
After a little while longer, Boyaciyan made the call and Zoufri took one last look at his cards before tossing them into the muck. A player at the table tried to convince Boyaciyan to show his cards, but the rounded Boyaciyan slid them face down into the muck. Boyaciyan up to well over the 200,000 mark, Zoufri down to just over 100,000.
