Al-Darwich Spikes the River
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Sokratis Linaras raised from the button, Somar Al-Darwich three-bet to 250,000 from the small blind, and Linaras responded with a four-bet jam to 1,280,000. Al-Darwich tanked for some time before making the call.
Sokratis Linaras: A♦K♠
Somar Al-Darwich: A♠J♥
The J♦K♥4♦ flop looked to keep things fair, while the 3♣ turn changed nothing. However, the J♠ river propelled Al-Darwich into the lead and sent Linaras to the rail. Linaras erupted from his seat in disbelief at the brutal suck-out.
