Tiny Double Up For Hosseini

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Serhii Popovych opened from the cutoff and received a single call from Hathi Hosseini on the button.

On 6♣A♦K♥, Popovych checked, and Hosseini moved all in for 2,600 chips, which was less than 9 blinds. Even though he seemed to know that he didn't have the best hand, Popovych had no choice but to call.

Hathi Hosseini: A♠5♥
Serhii Popovych: K♣8♣

Hosseini's pair of aces had to hold, and that's what happened on the turn Q♣ and the river 5♥, which even brought him a second pair.

On the very next hand, Popovych open-folded when Hosseini went all in once again. Thanks to these two hands, Hosseini's stack increased to 8,000 chips.
