Pachos Doubles Through Saab

[user67765]

David Saab raised to 15,000 and John Pachos called out of the big blind. They saw a flop of {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

and Pachos moved all in for 35,000. Saab decided to take a shot at eliminating the short stack and made the call with just {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

for a gutshot straight draw, as Pachos tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{k-Diamonds}

for the best hand.

The turn was the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

and the river a teasing {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

as the crowd roared, thinking that Saab had hit his gutshot, but the diamond actually completed the flush for Pachos. Once again the short stack doubles up, as the bad run for the big stacks on the bubble continues!
