Antoun's Set Sends Nacer to the Rail
Andrey Pateychuk made it 1,500 to go from middle position with Samir Nacer calling from the hijack, and Jose Roman calling from the small blind. Abdou Antoun bumped up the action to 6,000 from the big blind, which Pateychuk called. Antoun opted to back-raise to 26,000, which was only called by Antoun.
With just over 60,000 in the pot, the two players saw the dealer fan out a flop of 3♠9♥A♠. Both players checked, and the 10♠ appeared on the turn. Antoun led out for 16,000, and Nacer flicked in the call.
Antoun slowed down and checked the 5♥ river, and after some tanking, Nacer jammed for roughly 45,000. Antoun snap-called and was shown A♣K♠ by Nacer for top pair top kicker. Antoun had that beat with 10♦10♥ for a turned set to win the pot, and send Nacer to the rail.
