Action folded to Omar Mehmood on the button who opted to limp. The small blind folded and the big blind decided to come in for a raise. Mehmood called and the two players were off to a flop of 5♥A♦8♥.
The player in the big blind led out with a bet that was quickly met with a call from Mehmood and both players took a A♣ turn card which again led to a bet from the big blind and a call from Mehmood.
On the 3♥ river, the big blind slowed down and checked it over to Mehmood, who opted to bet for the first time in the hand.
The big blind player frustratingly peeled the A♠K♣ from his hand and tabled them face up before tossing the other two cards into the muck conceding the pot to Mehmood without a showdown.
Mehmood is in action and off to a good start fresh off a deep 14th place finish in Event #7: $1,500 Limit Hold 'Em.
