Vas Nunes Smacks the Turn to Bust Asghar
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Asmat Asghar bet 25,000 from under the gun on a flop of 8♦6♣9♥, Paul Vas Nunes moved all in from the small blind, and Asghar called for 250,000.
Asmat Asghar: 7♥7♠
Paul Vas Nunes: J♣10♣
Asghar was ahead with his sevens but needed to hold up against Vas Nunes' straight draw. The J♥ turn didn't give Vas Nunes a straight, but it did improve him to a pair as Asghar flung his arms in the air in frustration. The river was the K♠ and Vas Nunes scooped the massive pot to send Asghar to the rail.
"Big one," Asghar said.
