Joumaa Scoops Up as Rossos Hits the Rail

With plenty of preflop raises and re-raises, the pot had swelled to 21,500 by the time the flop revealed A♠Q♦10♣.

Bakhos Joumaa was first to act, leading out with a bet of 6,000. Christopher Rossos responded by raising to 14,000. After a moment of contemplation, Joumaa decided to go all in, easily covering Rossos’s stack. Without hesitation, Rossos snap-called, setting the stage for a showdown.

Rossos revealed K♥K♦, while Joumaa showed A♥J♦, having paired his ace on the flop. This left Rossos needing a lot of help. The 9♥ on the turn didn’t change much, and the 2♥ on the river sealed Rossos's fate, sending him to the rail and giving Joumaa a good boost to his stack.
