Charette Battles the Chip Leader
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Duff Charette opened to 60,000 from the cutoff and Rami Hammoud defended from the big blind.
The flop came 6?5?4? and Hammoud lead out with a 75,000 bet that was called by Charette.
Both players checked the Q? turn leading to the 10? river. Hammoud bet 225,000 and Charette called.
Hammoud could only show K?5? for a pair of fives while Charette tabled Q?9? for a pair of queens to take down a healthy pot.
