Asad Pressures Mitri

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Michael Asad raised to 2,400 from under the gun and was called by George Mitri on the button as well as Stevan Chew and John Thomson in the blinds.

The flop came {9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and the action checked around to Mitri who bet 3,500. Only Asad called as the blinds got out of the way.

Both players checked the {a-Hearts} on the turn before the {8-Clubs} completed the board. Asad then moved all in for his last 19,100. Asad agonized over his decision for over a minute before reluctantly mucking his hand.
