Badran Finds Generous Double Up

Sherif Badran

After starting the day in a blaze of glory with the elimination of Lee Nelson on the second hand of the day, things have been pretty tough since then for Sherif Badran.

He's slowly dropped back amongst the field, but he'll be feeling a little more positive after a recent double up.

Badran shoved from the hijack position for his last 9,475 and action folded to the player in the big blind who went into the tank. So much so, that the clock was called. The player had plenty of chips and decided to make a gambling call with {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} but found he only had one overcard against Badran's {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{K-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Badran doubles up to around 21,000.
