Gabdullin Takes a Bite Out of Runcan
Level 24
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Four players saw the 7♥3♥3♠ flop, and the action checked to Damir Gabdullin in the cutoff who put out a bet of 550,000. Iurii Suvorov quickly folded on the button, while Paul Runcan made the call from the blinds before Alireza Akbarzadehbeshroyeh released his cards.
The Q♣ fell on the turn, and Runcan check-called a bet of 1,275,000 from Gabdullin.
When the 5♠ completed the board, Runcan checked once more. Gabdullin used a time bank before dropping a stack of chips across the line for a bet of 3,500,000.
Runcan used a time bank of his own, and eventually decided on a call. Gabdullin rolled Q♦10♠ for top pair, and Runcan tapped the table as he said, "Nice hand."
