Preflop Blinds Battle for the Chip Lead

[user92162]

In a battle of the blinds Naz Sibaei raised to 4,400 from the small blind, only for the big blind to suddenly push all in for around 37,000. Sibaei went into the tank for about two minutes before making the call for his last 30,300, and tabling {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

. He must have had a good read because his opponent meekly tabled {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

leaving Sibaei in excellent shape.

The board blanked out {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

and Sibaei has moved up to a mammoth 70,300.
