Haddad Strikes Lightning on the River to Double Through Citrenbaum
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Jody Haddad already had a raise of 3,200 in front of him from middle position and Ronald Citrenbaum made it 11,500 to go on the button. Haddad called.
Haddad checked on the 4♠J♥6♠ flop and Citrenbaum put his entire stack into the middle, which was enough to put Haddad all in for his remaining 28,000.
Haddad went deep into the tank and after a couple of minutes, he committed his stack to the pot while asking, "Do you have aces?"
Jody Haddad: Q♥Q♣
Ronald Citrenbaum: A♦A♣
Citrenbaum did indeed have aces and the 4♣ turn left Haddad with one foot out the door.
However, the Q♦ was dealt on the river — improving Haddad to a set of queens for the dramatic double-up, much to the dismay of Citrenbaum.
