Ensan Spikes the River to Leap Over Hammoud
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Hossein Ensan raised to 1,600,000 in the hijack, and Rami Hammoud called in the small blind, as did Greg Mueller in the big blind.
All three players checked to the turn on a board of K♠J♦9♦4♠. Ensan then bet 1,500,000, and Hammoud raised to 6,000,000. Mueller folded 9♣7♣, while Ensan called.
The river was the 4♦, and Hammoud bet 8,500,000. Ensan snap-called with A♦3♦ for a rivered flush, and Hammoud mucked K♣J♣ for a no-good top two pair. Ensan overtook Hammoud for the chip lead with that pot.
