Ghadamian Doubles Through Habib

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Livia Toderita raised from middle position and Emad Ghadamian three-bet the hijack to 18,000. Michel Habib then put in a cold four-bet from the small blind to 45,000, which got Toderita to fold, but Ghadamian called, leaving himself around 95,000 behind.

The monotone flop of 235 was spread across the table and Habib instantly bet enough to put Ghadamian all-in. After thinking it over, Ghadamian called.

Emad Ghadamian: A5 All in
Michel Habib: AQ

Ghadamian was ahead with his pair of fives, but had a lot of outs to dodge as Habib had a flush draw and an overcard he could hit. The 3 turn didn't change anything, and neither did the 7 river, which meant Ghadamian doubled up.
