Leost Survives a Flip With Shaban
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Matthew Riebel raised to 4,500 in middle position and Arlie Shaban called in the hijack. Gabriel Leost then moved all in for 35,500 on the button and Riebel folded, while Shaban called to put Leost at risk.
Gabriel Leost: J♣9♣
Arlie Shaban: 5♥5♦
"Fair fight," Shaban said heading to the flop, which came A♣8♥6♥ to keep him in the lead. The turn, though, was the 9♠ and Leost hit a pair to move in front. The river was the 2♦, and Leost doubled up.
