Abraham Scores KO's in Back-to-Back Hands

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Martin Abraham
Martin Abraham

Martin Abraham just picked up a pair of knockouts in consecutive hands.

First, Abraham bet 15,000 into a pot of 19,800 on the flop {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, and Forrest Kollar, who won Event #2 $255 RunGood Fifty Five $55,000 GTD of this series shoved all in for 51,600 total.

Abraham went deep into the tank counting out chips. He eventually declared a call and Kollar was at risk.

Forrest Kollar: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Martin Abraham: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Abraham was ahead with his pocket queens but he would need to dodge some outs. The turn brought the {j-Diamonds} and the river was the {a-Spades} as Abraham was pushed the pot.

On the next hand, Abraham bet 1,600 on the turn {4-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and the player to his direct left in seat four raised to 5,000. Abraham called.

The river was the {8-Clubs} and Abraham checked. His opponent quickly moved all in and Abraham snap-called. His opponent showed {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, but Abraham had it beat with {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a straight.

A big pot was brewing preflop on table 16. Paul Castro had an opponent all in and at risk holding pocket aces.

Paul Castro: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
