From Out the Door to a Chip Leader With 2 Outs

[user75311]

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

From under the gun, Sam Abueid raised and it folded around to the big blind who three bet him. Abueid, with about 35,000 behind, announced that he was all in only to hear the big blind snap call.

Abueid: {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

Abueid didn't have to wait long for help. The flop came out {4-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} . The reaction of both men were mainly of surprise. Abueid added it with a sigh of relief while his opponent, who still had about 30,000, looked rather devastated. The {k-Clubs} turn and {q-Diamonds} river bricked out and Abueid has gone from being a 4 to 1 dog to go home, to one of the top ten stacks in the room. Simply put, that's poker.
