Hudda Keeps His Seat
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Amin Hudda checked from the big blind on the 3♣2♣9♥ flop, and Kyle Goebel bet 1,000 from the cutoff. Hudda quickly called.
The 8♥ turn brought another check from Hudda, and Goebel fired a second barrel of 2,000. With 13,000 behind, Hudda immediately check-raised to 8,000. Goebel deliberated for a while before moving all in, and Hudda called.
Amin Hudda: K♥9♠
Kyle Goebel: 10♦9♦
Both players held top pair, but Hudda's king-kicker had him poised for a much-needed double-up.
The 5♥ river changed nothing, and Hudda doubled to keep his Main Event hopes alive.
