Aces for Avrahami
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
This hand took place as the last level expired with the blinds at 60,000/120,000.
Michael Stein opened to 240,000 on the button before Nadav Avrahami three-bet to 710,000 from the small blind.
Stein called and sent them to a flop of 4♠3♠9♠. Avrahami continued for 225,000, but Stein countered with a raise to 2,000,000. Avrahami did not hesitate to go all-in for 2,810,000. Stein put in the call after some deliberation to put Avrahami at risk.
Nadav Avrahami: A♠A♦
Michael Stein: 5♣5♦
Avrahami was in a strong position to double up with the better pair and the ace-high flush draw.
The Q♠ sealed it in his favor as Avrahami upgraded to a flush, making the Q♣ river inconsequential.
