Mehmood Forces a Fold
Action folded to Omar Mehmood on the button who opted to limp. The small blind folded and the big blind decided to come in for a raise. Mehmood called and the two players were off to a flop of 5?A?8?.
The player in the big blind led out with a bet that was quickly met with a call from Mehmood and both players took a A? turn card which again led to a bet from the big blind and a call from Mehmood.
On the 3? river, the big blind slowed down and checked it over to Mehmood, who opted to bet for the first time in the hand.
The big blind player frustratingly peeled the A?K? from his hand and tabled them face up before tossing the other two cards into the muck conceding the pot to Mehmood without a showdown.
Mehmood is in action and off to a good start fresh off a deep 14th place finish in Event #7: $1,500 Limit Hold 'Em.
