Hand #69 - Eric Assadourian

[user38449]

Bo Sehlstedt has the button in seat 4 and limps into the pot for 8,000. Eric Assadourian completes the bet from the small blind and Tony Ng checks his option in the big blind.

The flop comes {2-Spades}

and the action is checked around to Bo, who makes it 17,000 to go from the button. Next to act, Assadourian announced a raise and slid 45,000 across the betting line. Tony laid down his cards and Bo made the call.

The {K-Hearts}

came on the turn and both players knuckled the felt. The last card off the deck was the {A-Hearts}

and Eric checked to Bo, who pushed 65,000 into the middle. Eric stood up out of his seat and studied the situation before eventually making the call. As soon as Eric threw his chips across the betting line, Bo said, "Nice call," as he turned over the {Q-Hearts}

for nothing but ace-high. Eric tabled the {8-Clubs}

and raked the pot with a pair of eights.

was the last card to come off the deck, and Bo led out with a 13,000 bet, which prompted Assadourian to surrender the hand.
