Uhara Hits the Jackpot and Stacks Habib
Level 4
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
There were already 85,000 chips in the pot on a 2♥4♥7♥ flop when Motokatsu Uhara in the big blind, Walid Bou Habib in the hijack, and the player in the cutoff all checked,
A 5♦ dropped on the turn and Uhara checked again, then Habib fired 46,000. The cutoff folded, and Uhara shoved. Habib had around 60,000 behind and made the call.
Walid Bou Habib: A♥J♦
Motokatsu Uhara: 7♠7♦
Uhara was well ahead with his set and needed to fade a heart on the river in order to eliminate Habib. It was the A♦ that fell on the river, and despite that card improving Habib, it wasn't enough, and he was sent to the rail.
