Sabat Doubles Up

[user75032]

Edward Sabat

In our first raised pot of heads-up play that went to the flop, Edward Sabat made it 175,000 to go and Charles Chua called. Chua, as first to act after the flop {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

, checked to Sabat. He made it 255,000. Chua moved all in and Sabat snap-called.

Chua: {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

Sabat:

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

Chua had Sabat covered but was trailing in the hand, opening just a gutshot straight draw against Sabat's top-top. Chua didn't improve at all with the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

turn. There was a dramatic pause before the dealer burned and turned the river. It was the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

, a card that did not improve Chua's hand. Sabat now has a roughly four-to-one chip lead over Chua.
