Haidar Smooth Calls to Chip Lead
Fady Kamar bet 1,200 from the hijack and was called by the cutoff. Mehmet Dalkilic on the button raised to 5,000 and was cold -called by Safi Haidar in the small blind. Kamar and the cutoff also came along for the ride.
The flop was A♠9♦7♠ and Dalkilic bet 7,000. Haidar and Kamar called, whilst the cutoff folded.
The 5♦ appeared on the turn to create a second flush draw. Dalkilic ramped up and bet 26,000. But it was not enough to scare away his two opponents who called.
With over a starting stack now in the middle, Dalkilic moved all in for 72,000. Haidar casually threw in the call, and only just covered Dalkilic. Kamar folded his hand and revealed he missed his club draw.
Dalkilic stood up knowing his 10♣9♠ for second pair was not good enough. Haidar tabled A♣Q♣ for top pair and now stands on top of the chip standings.
