Premium Blind Versus Blind Battle
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Vahid Sahebalzamani acted from the small blind and put enough chips to force Ariah Nead to go all-in out of the big blind if he wanted to continue in the hand. Nead wasted little time making the call as he put himself at risk for 120,000.
Ariah Nead: 10♣10♥
Vahid Sahebalzamani: A♥J♦
Both players woke up with strong hands for a small versus big blind collision, as it was a classic race between the pocket pair versus the overcards.
The 7♣2♦6♦ flop was a safe one for Nead as there wasn't an overcard in sight.
Nead held on the 4♣ turn and the 9♦ river to secure the double.
