Hajjar Heads Out

We pick up the action on a flop showing {Q-Spades} {3-Clubs} {10-Hearts} in a heads-up confrontation. First to speak was Mohsen Abdallah, and he led out with a bet of 2,000. His opponent, Dory Hajjar, moved all in for about 9,000 total. Without much debate, Abdallah called with the slightly covering stack, turning over {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. Hajjar was in the lead and looking to double up with {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} as his opponent tapped the felt in acknowledgement. The turn was a blank, but the river {K-Hearts} was a disaster for the at-risk player, sending him storming out of the room after falling victim to Abdallah's two pair.
