Abrams Goes from Short Stack to Chip Lead
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Scott Abrams opened to 1,000,000 under the gun and James Roullier flatted on the button. In the small blind, Christopher Alcindor potted to 4,400,000. Abrams called and Roullier folded.
On the J♣9♠3♥ flop, Alcindor bet and Abrams called all-in for 1,700,000.
Scott Abrams: A♦Q♦8♣4♣2♠
Christopher Alcindor: A♥J♠10♥2♦2♣
Abrams had a gutter and Alcindor had top pair, while both had the same backdoor low draw.
The 9♥ turn gave Alcindor the nut flush draw. But the river was the Q♠, and Abrams made queens-up for the scoop as he becomes the chip leader.
