Wahdan Back and Playing Games
The player in the cutoff limped and Nader Wahdan raised to 1,600 from the button. The big blind called, as did the cutoff, and the flop came . Action checked to Wahdan who made a continuation-bet of 3,500. The big blind called and the cutoff got out of their way, bringing the turn . The big checked and Wahdan fired another barrel for 6,500.
The big blind went into the tank, thinking for quite some time. Wahdan sat still before calmly rolling a few chips across the felt from one hand to the other before resuming his still posture. After around two minutes, the big blind folded.
Wahdan tabled for the seven-deuce, stirring up a decent reaction from the table. A few players joked, saying they didn't realize that they were playing the seven-deuce game.
Wahdan laughed with them, adding that it was the only way he could win. The big blind acknowledged the bet, saying he was drawing anyways. Wahdan confirmed that he did not mean to show his opponent up and that it truly was the only way he was ever going to win the pot since his hand surely would not have been good at showdown.
