Awwad Doubles Again
Level 32
: Blinds 300,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Henri Perez Lopez went all-in on the button, and Ryan Awwad called from the big blind to be at risk for 4,000,000 even.
Ryan Awwad: K♦9♣
Henri Perez Lopez: A♥J♦
Awwad was behind, but the flop vaulted him into the lead when it came 5♦K♣Q♦ to give him a pair of kings. Lopez was still in the fight with a gutshot straight draw and his overcard.
The 3♦ turn gave Awwad the best flush draw with his king of diamonds.
That would turn out to be critical as the A♦ hit the river to award Awwad the pot with a king-high flush.
