Lebron Does Most Damage, Abdella Finishes the Job

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

David Lebron had just doubled up with a set of aces in a blind versus blind battle to leave his opponent short-stacked. Ahmed Abdella then took the rest on the very next hand.

Abdella bet 1,500 from middle position on a flop of 10♥6♣4♥ and the button called. The turn was the 8♠ and Abdella bet 2,500. The button again called and the 10♣ fell on the river.

Abdella then moved all in and his opponent committed his last 15,000. Abdella's Q♥8♥ was good enough to win the pot and the button was sent off to the rail.
