Al Labani Binks a River Double
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Three ways to the K♦8♠6♠J♦ turn, Hael Al Labani in the big blind and Jovan Kenjic in the under-the-gun position checked. Mounim Kaddouri bet 23,000 and received two callers.
Al Labani then jammed the 7♥ river for the last 40,000 and Kenjic folded. Kaddouri asked for a count and called, then sighed vividly when he was shown the 9♦5♦ for a straight. Kaddouri mucked his K♠J♠ in disgust and dropped to a short stack.
"I lost ace-king suited to nines before, and tens versus ace-king," Al Labani recalled right before they went into the break.
