Abdella Building a Monster Stack

Ryan Lashmar

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Hatim Saber opened to 3,200 from the button and was called by Ahmed Abdella in the big blind.

The flop came 7♣5♥2♥. Abdella checked, Saber bet 3,000, Abdella check-raised to 9,500 and Saber called.

Abdella bet 14,000 on the 3♠ turn and this time Saber opted to fold.

Abdella had already done a great job building a stack before this hand and is currently the chip leader by a wide margin over the rest of the field.

Elsewhere in the tournament area, Sergi Perez was recently eliminated.
