Abed Improves at the Wrong Time
Level 30
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Hammer opened to 250,000 on the button with K♣J♦ Redwan Ferman defended the small blind with K♥6♥ and Ryan Abed defended his big blind with K♠4♥
The 4♠2♠Q♥ flop checked to Hammer, who continued for 275,000. Ferman folded, but Abed called to see the Q♠ on the turn. Abed checked again, and Hammer bet again, this time sizing up to 375,000. Once again, Abed called, and the K♦ peeled off on the river.
Action swiftly went check-check, and Abed saw that although he had made a better hand, the river favoured Hammer, and the pot was shipped in his direction.
