Hasbani Cracks Aces
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Rio Nimni Ben raised to 10,000 from under the gun and was called by a player in middle position and Antoine Hasbani in the big blind.
When it got to the middle position player on the 8♠3♦9♥ flop, he bet 15,000, and only Hasbani called.
Hasbani checked again when he saw a 8♣ turn, and his opponent bet around 20,000. Hasbani called once more.
The 7♥ came on the river and after Hasbani checked, the middle position player bet 35,000. Hasbani paused momentarily and then jammed, covering his opponent.
The middle position player quickly called for his remaining 78,000 and was shown a rivered straight from Hasbani with J♥10♥. Hasbani's opponent showed A♠A♦ for a slowplayed pair of aces as he headed to the rail.
