Magnan Doubles Off Mostafavita; Abdulzahra Sets Up Labat
Davide Magnan bet 12,000 from the button on a flop of A♦4♣3♦ and Reza Mostafavita called in the small blind.
The turn was the 2♣ and Magnan moved all in for 34,900. Mostafavita took a minute before calling with 6♣6♦, while Magnan had A♣K♦ for top pair.
Mostafavita was looking for a six or five to make a straight, but he missed the 8♠ river as Magnan jumped out of his seat and let out a deep breath as the dealer pushed him over the pot.
"You didn't believe I had an ace?" he asked Mostafavita after the hand.
"I knew you had an ace. Big pot. I needed a five or a six. I play my game," Mostafavita replied.
At another table, Antoine Labat had three-bet to 13,000 in the big blind and Ali Abdulzahra called in the cutoff.
Action was checked to the river on a board of J♥5♦8♠3♠Q♦ when Labat bet 21,000. Abdulzahra then moved all in, and Labat called for his last 40,000.
Labat showed A♠Q♠ for top pair, but Abdulzahra had a set with 3♥3♦ to win the pot and send Labat to the rail.
