Huang Decides to Gamble

[user75032]

A strange hand has resulted in a double-up for Javed Abrahams. Action folded to Abrahams in late position, who put in the first raise. When action moved to Diwei Huang, he reraised to 65,000. That folded everyone else at the table back to Abrahams, who reraised all in for about 153,000 and prematurely opened his hand, showing {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

. Armed with this information, Huang elected to call anyway and showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

, a hand that was roughly a 2-to-1 underdog to Abrahams' kings. The board ran out {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

, allowing Abrahams to double up to about 330,000.
