Qasem Uses Stack to Test; Tishkevich Passes
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action was on the turn with a board reading 6♥10♥7♠2♥. Stanislav Tishkevich bet 7,000 into a pot of 17,000. Chip leader Zyad Qasem was in the small blind and called.
The river was the 6♠ to pair the board. Qasem led for 30,000 which was enough to cover Tishkevich who had about 26,000 behind who went into the tank to think it out.
After about 30 seconds he called it. Qasem tabled the 8♥7♣ for just a pair of sevens and Tishkevich tabled his A♥5♥ nut flush to take from the big stack.
"It really looked like a a full house" said Tishkevich as he stacked his chips.
"It was supposed to," replied Qasem.
