Habib Flops the Goods
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Ionel Anton opened to 50,000 from early position and was called by Michel Habib in middle position and Andrey Pateychuk in the big blind.
The flop came Q♣8♣6♦ and action checked around to Habib who bet 50,000. Pateychuk got out of the way while Anton made the call.
Anton checked again on the 3♦ turn and Habib bet 125,000. Anton put in a check-raise to 275,000 and Habib called.
Both players checked the A♣ river. Anton tabled A♦J♦ for a missed flush draw that turned into top pair on the river. Habib turned over 6♥6♣ for a set of sixes to take down a sizable pot.
