Engel Takes One From Altman

Level 16 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ari Engel
Ari Engel

Ari Engel raised to 12,000 from middle position and Brian Altman re-raised to 35,000 from the hijack. It folded back to Engel who called and they went heads up to the {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop.

Engel check-called a bet of 20,000 from Altman and both players checked the {7-Spades} turn card. The {10-Hearts} completed the board and Engel checked to Altman who checked back.

Engel turned over his {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} for top pair and Altman flashed his {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} before tossing his hand into the muck.
