Almagableh Makes a Straight to Send Out Bunch
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jared Bleznick under the gun and Abdul Almagableh in the small blind limped before John Bunch checked his option.
The dealer fanned a flop of J?8?3?, and Almagableh checked to Bunch who fired 11,000. Bleznick quickly folded and Almagableh put in the maximum raise of 57,000. Bunch called.
When the 10? hit the turn, Almagableh continued for 75,000 and Bunch stuck around with a call.
The Q? completed the board on the river and Almagableh dropped a stack of reds across the line. Bunch called off his stack of about 20,000 to see the K?K?9?6? of Almagableh. Bunch rolled his hand over but the dealer mucked them quickly as he waited for his payout tag.
