Bejjani Makes a Big Call
Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With two players seeing a board of A♣Q♦8♠9♥ and roughly 80,000 in the middle, Arturo Paduano moved all in from middle position, covering Kamal Bejjani in the cutoff who had just under 80,000 behind.
Bejjani went into the tank for a few minutes before finding the call to put himself at risk.
Kamal Bejjani: A♦5♣
Arturo Paduano: Q♠4♠
Despite the weak kicker Bejjani was ahead with top pair and remained ahead on the 9♦ river to secure an important double up in the final few hands of the night.
