Baroudi's Min-Raise Spells His Demise
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Emile Baroudi and Miguel Abad were battling heads up over a 6,800-chip pot. Baroudi checked from the big blind on the 7♥9♠6♣A♣ board before Abad made a bet of 3,000.
Baroudi clicked it back to 6,000 and Abad called. The 7♣ river then completed the board and Baroudi bet another 6,000.
It was Abad's turn to raise as he put in 24,000, just enough to cover his opponent's stack. A snap-call followed and Abad showed Baroudi K♣4♣ for a rivered flush.
Baroudi showed his 10♦8♦ in frustration, showing that his flopped straight got cracked. After the stacks were counted, he left the tournament area while Abad virtually doubled up.
