The Fall and Rise of Eric Assadourian

Eric Assadourian
Eric Assadourian
On a board of {9-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} Eric Assadourian led with a bet of 2,100 and his opponent on the button made the call. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and Assadourian fired out 8,000. His opponent, who only had 8,000 and change left, threw it all in the middle and Assadourian called.

Assadourian: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

A {J-Spades} on the river gave Assadourian the pot with his two pair and he quipped "Come up and play in Sydney anytime" as his opponent headed home. After an eventful hour post-dinner, Assadourian is now back to 34,000 in chips.

Cantu's Courageous Call

With the board reading {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{K-Spades} and already 7,000 in the pot, Eric Assadourian leads out with a bet of 6,000 on the river. His opponent, Brandon Cantu in the cutoff goes into the tank with a huge decision.

Assadourian quips "I promise you one thing, I don't have a king" as he casually banters with other players at the table.

Eventually Cantu makes the call and shows pocket eights! Amazingly they are good as Assadourian shows {J-Spades}{6-Hearts} for nothing but air!

Following the dinner break Assadourian has doubled up two other players including Sarah Bilney and is now down to 24,000 in chips.
