Abud Scoops Huge Pot as Bubble Approaches
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Picking up the action on the flop on a board of 10♠9♠K♥, Junichi Kato was all in for 216,000 against Sajad Abud, who had him covered.
Kato showed A♣K♣ for a pair of kings. Abud, however, flipped over 10♥9♥ for two pair.
The turn came the 8♣ and river was the Q♥. Abud held with his two pair and scooped over a huge chunk of chips, as Kato left the table.
"Wow, that was a huge hand," said a neutral player as the table watched Abud add to his stack, now worth around 560,000, putting him as one of the tournament chip leaders as the bubble approaches.
