Ghanem Extracts from Roberts
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Saad Ghanem opened to 30,000 and was called by Brian Roberts to go to a flop of 2♦8♦9♥.
Roberts checked to Ghanem who bet 20,000 and Roberts quickly tossed out a call to go to the 8♥ on the turn.
Roberts then check-called another bet from Ghanem, this time for 40,000. On the river Q♠, Ghanem fired again for 40,000, and Roberts once again called.
Ghanem then flipped over Q♦9♠ for two pair of queens and nines.
"Nice river, I thought I had you right where I wanted you..." Roberts sighed as he slid his cards to the dealer and the pot was pushed to Ghanem.
