Asghar Bombs the River
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action was opened in middle position by Jamiel Asghar to 2,000. He got a call from the cutoff and the big blind.
The A♣8♥10♠ flop hit the felt and action checked to Asghar who continued for 3,000. Both players called.
The turn brought a 9♠ and action quickly checked through to a Q♠ river.
The big blind then led out for 7,000. Asghar sat in the tank for a moment before putting in a large raise to 21,000. The cutoff thought for a moment but got out of the way and action was back on the big blind. He shook his head and seemed to have a tough decision but eventually mucked.
Asghar dragged in the pot to give him a healthy stack going into the middle off the day.
