Awad Binks the River Against Seymour
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Boutros Awad defended his small blind with the Q♣10♥ against an under-the-gun raise by Richard Seymour, who had the J♥J♣.
On a flop of K♥4♦3♥, Awad check-raised from 35,000 to 120,000 and Seymour reluctantly called. Both checked the K♦ turn and the Q♥ river went check, check.
Awad announced a queen and received more than just a raised eyebrow by Seymour, who said "you can play in my home game".
