Habib Flops the Goods
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Ionel Anton opened to 50,000 from early position and was called by Michel Habib in middle position and Andrey Pateychuk in the big blind.
The flop came Q?8?6? and action checked around to Habib who bet 50,000. Pateychuk got out of the way while Anton made the call.
Anton checked again on the 3? turn and Habib bet 125,000. Anton put in a check-raise to 275,000 and Habib called.
Both players checked the A? river. Anton tabled A?J? for a missed flush draw that turned into top pair on the river. Habib turned over 6?6? for a set of sixes to take down a sizable pot.
