Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 300 ante
Odeh Wahdan opened from early position before Derek Feierabend put him all-in from the cutoff. Wahdan obliged with a call and put himself at risk for 14,500.
Odeh Wahdan: A♠J♦
Derek Feierabend: 9♣9♠
Wahdan and Feierabend were in a coin flip to start the race.
The flop was a sensational one when it fanned out J♠J♣9♥. Wahdan slammed trip jacks, but it was still behind as Feierabend flopped a full house to stay in the lead.
Wahdan gained some outs on the 2♠ turn as any ace or deuce would give him a higher full house with one card left to go.
The river elicited a reaction from the table when it came the 2♣ to upgrade Wahdan to a full house and the best hand as he out ran Feierabend with a higher boat on the river.
