"Dooley" The Victor in a Heads Up Duel
Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo
The under the gun player limped as did another player in early position. Abdullah "Dooley" Al-Shanti potted to 2,800 and the under-the-gun player called to see a 8?J?6? flop.
The under-the-gun player checked to Al-Shanti who quickly potted again. Under the gun re-potted and Al-Shanti quickly pushed his chips forward to put himself all in and at risk headed to a runout.
Abdullah Al-Shanti: A?K?J?3?
Under The Gun: A?7?5?2?
With a lot of cards that would give his opponent the whole pot, Al-Shanti needed to dodge some bullets on the turn and river.
The runout came 8? and 6?, missing everything for his opponent and allowing Al-Shanti to scoop the entire pot for a full double.
As he made it clear that he had gotten lucky to hold for the scoop, he told the table, "What can I say? I'm uncoachable!" which got a good laugh from his tablemates before he turned to his direct right to ask non other than Max Pescatori, "Would you coach me, bro?"
With a couple deep runs and six cashes so far this summer, it's safe to say that "Dooley" is having a blast at the 2023 World Series of Poker.
