Fahsi Finds a Call to Double Off Blackwell

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Fouad Fahsi
Fouad Fahsi

Matthew Blackwell raised to 15,000 under the gun and received three callers, including Fouad Fahsi in middle position.

Blackwell continued for 33,000 on the A♥9♠6♦ flop, and only Fahsi called. Blackwell then moved all in on the K♣ turn, and Fahsi tanked for a few minutes before calling for 79,000.

Blackwell showed A♣7♥ for top pair, but Fahsi had A♦10♦. The river was the 10♣, and Fahsi improved to two pair to secure the double up.

"That's a hell of a call," a tablemate told him.

"It wasn't easy," Fahsi replied.
