Battaglia Binks The River to Bust Nadeem
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Majid Nadeem had already raised from the hijack and was facing a three-bet to 11,600 from the big blind. Nadeem shoved for around 35,000 total and Battaglia asked for a count before deciding to call and put Nadeem at risk.
Majid Nadeem: A♣Q♣
Antonio Battaglia: A♠K♥
Battaglia had Nadeem dominated, but the 7♦Q♠8♠ flop vaulted Nadeem into the lead after pairing his queen.
The 3♥ turn changed nothing, but the dealer brought the K♦ on the river — putting Battaglia back on top with a pair of kings and eliminating Nadeem from the tournament.
