Ghazarian Puts Saad in the Blender
Level 10
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Harout Ghazarian opened to 5,000 from the hijack and Eli Saad defended from the big blind.
The flop came Q♥5♥4♣ and Saad check-called a 5,000 continuation bet from Ghazarian.
Saad checked again on the J♠ turn and Saad sized up with a bet of 31,000, sending Saad deep into the tank.
"Pocket Fives"? Saad asked his opponent after several minutes had gone by. Ghazarian chose not to reply.
After several more minutes of consideration Saad ultimately decided to fold and Ghazarian took down a decent pot without showdown.
