Musleh Gets a Pre-Dinner Dub

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
Ramzi Musleh
Ramzi Musleh

Kane Lai raised to 1,300 under the gun and was three-bet to 3,500 by Ramzi Musleh, who was on his direct left in the hijack at a six-handed table. Action folded back to Lai and he called.

The flop came {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Lai checked to Musleh, who continued for 6,800. Lai called. The turn came {7-Clubs} and Lai threw out a bet of 10,000, totaling Musleh's remaining chips. Musleh tossed in his last two 5,000 chips and hands were tabled.

Ramzi Musleh: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Kane Lai: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Lai had flopped an open-ended straight draw and picked up a backdoor flush draw on the turn, but Musleh found himself still ahead with his couple of unpaired big cards. The river {3-Diamonds} left the situation unchanged and Musleh found a double just a few minutes before dinner at Lai's expense.
