Babakhani Doubles Thru and Cripples Frankenberger

Level 17: 6,000-12,000, 2,000 ante

WPT Championship_Season 11
Photo: Andy Frankenberger got his money in good, but the turn card crippled him.

Amir Babakhani raises from middle position to 27,000, Andy Frankenberger reraises from the hijack to 77,000, and Babakhani calls.

The flop comes Jspade8diamond7club, Babakhani bets 100,000, Frankenberger moves all in, and Babakhani calls all in for about 335,000 with Aspade7spade (pair of sevens). Frankenberger turns over QclubQdiamond for an overpair, and Babakhani will need to improve to stay alive.

The turn is the Aheart, the river is the 3diamond, and Babakhani turns two pair (aces and sevens) to win the pot and double up in chips -- crippling Frankenberger in the process.

Amir Babakhani  -  852,000  (71 bb)
Andy Frankenberger  -  85,000  (7 bb)

Frankenberger won the Season IX WPT Player of the Year award, while Babakhani is still a contender in this season's POY race. However, Babakhani nothing short of first place will allow Babakhani to catch points-leader Matt Salsberg.
