Seven from Heaven Saves Aweida

Chad Holloway

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The short-stacked Sammy Aweida moved all in for 15,000 under the gun and Scotter Clark isolated by three-bet jamming for 55,000 from the cutoff. The button and both blinds got out of the way and the hands were turned up.

Sammy Aweida:
Scotter Clark:

Aweida had the inferior pocket pair and needed some major help. He didn't find it on the flop but he did when the dealer burned and turned the to give him a full house. The river was a brick and Clark sent over the chips.
