Gabdullin Takes a Bite Out of Runcan
Level 24
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Four players saw the 7?3?3? flop, and the action checked to Damir Gabdullin in the cutoff who put out a bet of 550,000. Iurii Suvorov quickly folded on the button, while Paul Runcan made the call from the blinds before Alireza Akbarzadehbeshroyeh released his cards.
The Q? fell on the turn, and Runcan check-called a bet of 1,275,000 from Gabdullin.
When the 5? completed the board, Runcan checked once more. Gabdullin used a time bank before dropping a stack of chips across the line for a bet of 3,500,000.
Runcan used a time bank of his own, and eventually decided on a call. Gabdullin rolled Q?10? for top pair, and Runcan tapped the table as he said, "Nice hand."
