Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Ali Abdulzahra
Ali Abdulzahra

Isaac Barker opened the action with a raise to 600,000 from early position, which gathered calls from Matthew Twomey on the button and Ali Abdulzahra in the big blind.

The dealer spread a 10107 flop, and action checked through.

The A turn joined the board, and the action checked through once again.

The dealer completed the board with 8, which prompted Abdulzhara to lead for 3,925,000. Barker called off his remaining stack of 3,800,000, and Twomey folded.

Abdulzhara flipped over 64, which had run into the full house of Barker, who had AA.
