Morris Finds Flush Against Sabbaghian
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
This hand was picked up on the flop of a board that read A♣10♣Q♥ when Sasha Sabbaghian checked his option from the big blind. Thomas Morris followed with a bet of 5,000 from under the gun. Sabbaghian check-raised all-in to put Morris at risk should he call. Morris made the call to put himself at risk for 41,000.
Thomas Morris: K♦Q♣
Sasha Sabbaghian: Q♠10♠
Sabbaghian was in the lead after he flopped two pair, but Morris had plenty of recourse to hit the best hand with his gutshot straight draw and outs to a king for a higher two pair.
The 4♣ turn was ominous as it gave Morris even more outs with a flush draw.
Morris would get there through the back door when the 7♣ peeled on the river to upgrade Morris to a flush and double him up.
