Derwiche Doubles Through Addamo

Josh Noy

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

Michael Addamo bet 3,500 on the flop and was raised by Imad Derwiche to 15,000.

Addamo took some time before committing enough chips to put Derwiche all in and Derwiche complied by sliding his remaining stack into the middle.

Imad Derwiche:
Michael Addamo:

Derwiche's flush draw was trailing Addamo's flopped straight and the turn changed nothing. Derwiche then spiked the river to complete his flush, doubling his stack while leaving Addamo short.
