Aweida Fades the Flush To Double
A player limped in from middle position and action made its way around to Sammy Aweida, who completed his small blind. Stephen Zipprich checked his option from the big blind and the three went to a flop of 
.
Aweida was first to act and led out with a bet of 8,000. Zipprich folded and the middle-position player called, taking action heads up to the turn 
. Aweida checked over to his opponent and she put in a bet of 22,000. Aweida quickly check-raised all in.
The middle-position player asked for the 22,000 to be raked in to see how much more it was for her to call. That number was 32,000 more and she thought for a few seconds before tossing in enough T5,000 chips to make the pot right.
Sammy Aweida: 
Middle Position: 
Aweida had turned the second-nut straight and was ahead of his opponent's pair, gutshot straight draw, and second-nut flush draw. The middle-position player saw the situation and verbalized it, saying she just needed a diamond or a ten. The dealer did not comply with her request, bringing 
on board to complete the runout and earn Aweida the double.
