Abdella Finds a Miracle on the River

David Salituro

Level 7 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ahmed Abdella bet 2,300 from middle position on a flop of 9♣8♣8♠ and Antovian raised to 7,500 in the big blind. Abdella called and the 5♦ fell on the turn.

Antovian then moved all in and Abdella quickly called for his last 14,500. Antovian showed 8♥5♠ for a full house and Abdella shot out of his seat and flashed A♥A♦ as he prepared to make his exit, but the A♠ fell on the river to give him a bigger full house and a miracle double up.

Four players saw a flop of 4♦9♦10♥ where the player on the button bet 1,000. Karenis Georgiadi folded his big blind, while the under-the-gun player raised to 6,000. Both Manuel Ledesma in the cutoff and the button called.

All three players checked the 3♣ turn. Action then checked to Ledesma on the 5♦ river and he bet 16,000, enough to force out both opponents as the defending champion continued building his big stack.
