Arbel Holds On to Double Off Penescu
Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Five players built a pot of more than 20,000 heading to the 6?5?9? as action was checked through to the 7? turn.
David Arbel, in the big blind, then tossed out 25,000 and the rest of the table folded to Gabriel Penescu in middle position who moved all in. Arbel snap-called for his last 55,000.
Penescu showed K?10? for a flush draw, while Arbel had 8?8? for a straight. The J? river was safe for Arbel and he doubled up and put a big dent in Penescu's formerly chip-leading stack.
