Iqbal Gives Up on the River
Level 7
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
James Sassi raised to 1,200 under the gun and received three callers, including Majid Iqbal in the cutoff.
Action checked to Iqbal on the 10♣5♦6♦ flop and he bet 2,200. Only Sassi called and they went heads-up to the 8♦ turn.
Iqbal then bet 5,300 and Sassi again called. Sassi checked the 5♠ river. "You win," Iqbal said, tapping the felt and instantly mucking his cards.
"Do I have to show?" Sassi asked the dealer as he took in the pot without a showdown.
