Nader Drills the River
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Valeriy Pak opened in late position to 225,000 before the action made it to Alfred Nader in the big blind who peeked at his cards, took a moment, and then flat called.
The A?5?10? flop hit the felt and Nader took almost no time before announcing he was all in. Action was on Pak who also didn't waste anyone's time with a count and flicked in a call.
Alfred Nader: Q?8?
Valeriy Pak: A?9?
Nader needed some help in the form of a diamond or running cards. The dealer did not bring help on the 6? turn but Nader drilled the 3? on the river to earn the pure double.
He now sits with a workable stack and got some much needed breathing room.
