Abdulzahra Climbs to the Top
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Three players saw a flop of 6♥8♣Q♥ where Jack Hardcastle led out for 10,500 from the small blind. Andrew Hulme called in the big blind, as did Ali Abdulzahra in the cutoff.
Action checked to Abdulzahra on the 3♣ turn and he bet 28,000. Only Hulme called, and both players checked down the 4♦ river. Abdulzahra showed Q♠7♠ for top pair, and Hulme mucked.
Abdulzahra had just busted Harry Sandford when he spiked trip nines on the river against Sandford's flopped pair of aces, boosting Abdulzahra up past 300,000 near the end of the night.
