Oiberman Chips Up; Cgung Doubles
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Nickolas Oiberman raised to 3,000 and was called only by Arthur Xafis. Both checked the A♠Q♣7♥ flop to the J♣ turn on which Xafis check-called for 3,000. They checked the 7♠ river and Oiberman won the pot with the K♥Q♦.
One hand later, Tony Hachem raised to 3,500 and reluctantly called the all-in of Meng Cgung for 17,000.
Meng Cgung: A♥K♣
Tony Hachem: A♦5♠
"Classic race," table big stack Najeem Ajez joked.
Neither player hit the Q♠9♠4♥8♥J♥ board and the kicker played for the double.
