Asadabadi Hits a Miracle
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Arash Asadabadi raised to 14,000 under the gun, Roie Sheskin three-bet to 45,000 in the cutoff, and Asadabadi called.
The flop came A♠10♥6♦ and Sheskin bet 8,000. Asadabadi called, and the 9♠ fell on the turn. Sheskin then bet 35,000, and Asadabadi moved all in for 140,000. Sheskin snap-called.
Asadabadi turned over 10♦10♣ for a set, but Sheskin had top set with A♣A♦ as the defending champion was down to just one out to avoid elimination. The river, though, brought the 10♠ to give him quads. "Oh my God," Asadabadi cried out, shooting up from his seat after spiking the miracle to stay alive.
