Chip and a Chair for Saber
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Hatim Saber, who had been left with just 3,000 chips a few hands earlier before doubling up, moved all in again for 8,000 from under the gun. A player in the cutoff called and Fernando Santa Maria called in the small blind.
The flop came A?Q?6?. Santa Maria checked, the cutoff bet 10,000 and Santa Maria folded leaving Saber at risk against the cutoff.
Hatim Saber: Q?J?
Cutoff: A?9?
Things looked grim for Saber, who held second-pair and was up against top pair. That all changed when he improved to two pair on the J? turn and held from there on the 2? river to score a full quadruple up.
