Pasha Good at Showdown
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Varun Uppal opened to 2,200 from middle position and was called by the hijack. In the cutoff, defending champion Abbas Pasha three-bet to 7,500 and only Uppal called.
On the J♥10♥2♥ flop, Uppal check-called a bet of 5,500 from Pasha.
The 8♣ turn and 2♣ river were checked through.
Varun Uppal: K♦Q♦
Abbas Pasha: 8♠7♠
Pasha's turned pair of eights were good enough to beat Uppal's overs and straight draw as Pasha dragged the pot.
"Ten thousand with eight-seven? That's what it takes to be good," commented tablemate Ted Forshey.
