Al-Hadwan Gets Another Sweaty Double
Level 15
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
There was a raise to 13,000 and four calls preflop, two of which were from Samir Al-Hadwan in the small blind and the big blind just behind him.
The flop came 
and Al-Hadwan shipped in his last 41,000. The big blind was the only one to give him action.
Samir Al-Hadwan: 
Big Blind: 
Al-Hadwan had shoved with bottom pair, top kicker and was called by a flush draw with two overcards to go with it. A statistical underdog, Al-Hadwan's hand held nonetheless as the turn 
and river 
completed the runout to earn him the double and a bit more, giving him some breathing room with a six-figure stack as a result.
