Kerkeni The Table Captain

Henrik Tellving

Adrian-Sorel State from under the gun and Mohamed Kerkeni in the big blind saw a flop of :::Jh:::8d:::2s and the Frenchman checked. State bet 1,200 and Kerkeni check-raised to 5,025 to pick up a call by State. On the :::Ac turn, Kerkeni bet 10,000 and that forced a fold.

Kerkeni is seemingly involved in every hand and has a decent stack, but Ognyan Ivanov already moved up to three starting stacks. That is still not good enough for the overall lead, as Henrik Tellving moved up even further.
