Fadel Gets There on the River
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Rehman Zahid limped in under the gun, and action folded to the player on the button who raised to 1,500. He was called by Ali Fadel in the big blind, and Zahid called as well.
After the K♥7♠3♠ flop, Fadel checked before Zahid led out for a bet of 3,000. The button folded and Fadel made the call.
The turn was the 6♥ and Fadel check-called a bet of 8,000 from Zahid.
Both players checked after the 4♥ on the river. Zahid sighed and announced two pair as he tabled K♠4♠. But Fadel had the winner as he showed 7♣5♥ for a straight to take the pot.
