Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action caught up on the flop in a hand between Iyer Abhinad in the big blind and a player in late position, with both players checking the 7♦10♠4♥ board.

Abhinad then probed the 3♥ turn for 12,000 and got a call.

The J♥ river would slow down Abhinad, who this time checked. The player in late position bet a quick 25,000 — enough to put Abhinad all in — and Abhinad made the call.

Iyer Abhinad: Q♥J♠
Late Position: 6♠2♥

"Good call," Abhinad's opponent said, "six-high."

Abhinad's pair would be enough to survive another hand.
