Azor Pulls Ahead on the Turn
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Three-handed on a flop of 8♣9♦8♥, Sari Haddad bet 3,000 from early position and was called by Ran Azor in the cutoff, as well as Ahmed Abdellatif under the gun.
The turn came the 10♦ and action checked to Azor who slammed in 17,600. Abdellatif quickly folded, but Haddad tanked for a minute before calling with Q♥9♥.
Azor, though, showed J♣10♥ for two pair and held on through the 2♥ river to double up.
At the same table, Aurelie Reard is cruising her way along on Day 1c with a stack of around 160,000.
