'Sharky' Bites Down on Abdolvand's Stack

Level 5 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Javad Abdolvand raised from early position, with the player in the next seat calling and 'Sharky' coming along from the small blind.

The 8♠7♥2♥ flop checked through before the 9♦ arrived on the turn.

After 'Sharky' and Abdolvand checked, the third player in the hand bet around 6,000 and was met by a raise to 26,500 from 'Sharky'. Abdolvand then jammed for around 100,000, and the action folded back to 'Sharky', who thought for around fifteen seconds before calling.

Javad Abdolvand: A♣A♦ All in
'Sharky': 10♣6♣

Abdolvand had pocket aces, but he was drawing dead against 'Sharky''s second-nut straight.

An irrelevant 9♠ came on the river, cementing Abdolvand's elimination at the hands of 'Sharky'.

Abdolvand remained seated for a while before getting up to leave while asking 'Sharky', "What took you so long to call?"
