Sawaqdeh's Pocket Pair Holds

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jamal Sawaqdeh wasted no time in calling a shove for 14,300 from late position preflop.

Opponent: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Jamal Sawaqdeh: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Sawaqdeh was ahead, but would need to fade his opponent's overcards. He did so successfully, as the board ran out {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades}, changing neither player's hand and securing the knockout for Sawaqdeh.

A few tables over, Scott Epstein has amassed one of the largest stacks in the room at over 230,000.
