Lahev Fades the River to Double Up
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
After George Tomescu raised from middle position and the cutoff player called, Tomer Lahav squeezed from the small blind with both Tomescu and the cutoff player calling.
With around 325,000 in the middle, the three players saw the flop come down Q♦10♦8♥. Lahev fired out a continuation-bet of 250,000, which only the cutoff player called.
When the 5♥ landed on the turn, Lahev shoved for 280,000. The cutoff player did some inventory and took his time before eventually making the call.
Tomer Lahav: 10♥10♣
Cutoff Player: A♦5♦
Lahev was ahead with his set of tens, but the cutoff player did have a flush draw with one card to come. The 8♠ landed on the river to improve Lahev to a full house and he doubled up.
