Ajez Drills the River to Double Through Burns
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Amin Riyazati opened to 4,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 11,500 by Kahle Burns in the cutoff. It was then folded to Najeem Ajez in the small blind, who shoved for 58,000 total.
Riyazati tanked a bit before deciding to fold and Burns called to put Ajez at risk.
Najeem Ajez: 4♥4♠
Kahle Burns: A♥K♥
"Yes!" Ajez shouted upon seeing he was in a coin flip situation with his pair of fours.
The 9♠7♥6♥ flop kept Ajez ahead, but gave Burns outs to a flush in addition to his overs.
The A♦ turn paired Burns and left Ajez drawing to two outs, but a fateful 4♦ landed on the river, improving Ajez to a set for the double up.
"I folded nines!" Riyazati added as Ajez collected the pot.
