Abad Sniffs Out Another One

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The turned board read {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, with roughly 27,000 in the pot. Benjamin Thompson bet 14,500 and Jennifer Abad called after a brief moment of thought.

The dealer flipped over a {9-Hearts} river and Thompson quickly bet 42,000. Abad hit the tank but ultimately, she called and he then turned over {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for treys. Abad showed her {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flopped ace, taking down the pot thanks to another correct read.

The action was on the {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Spades} flop where Jennifer Abad put in a bet of around 3,500. Garry Henricks called, bringing the {8-Hearts} turn where Abad bet 7,000.

Henricks showed {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for a pair of ducks and Abad tabled her {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} to take down the pot with cowboys.
