"Belmehdi" Cracks Aces for the Chip Lead
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
"Pot and pot" raised to 2,000 from under the gun before Denis Vladmirov made it 7,000 from the hijack. "Belmehdi" cold-called from the cutoff and then the action folded to Mohamadou Abilil in the big blind. He mulled over his options before raising to 22,000. Belmehdi was the only caller.
Abilil continued for 25,000 on the Q♦8♣6♦ flop and was called.
On the 10♥ turn, Abilil had 115,000 behind, and fired out another 50,000. Belmehdi jammed as the bigger stack, and was snap-called.
Mahamadou Abilil: A♣A♥
Belmehdi: 10♠10♦
Belmehdi turned a set of tens to leapfrog the aces, much to Abilil's dismay. The latter left the table in disgust as the 4♠ river confirmed his departure.
With the pot, Belmehdi became the new chip leader.
