Nader Spikes a Two-Outer to Double Off Achour
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On a flop of J?9?A?, Amjad Nader got his last 246,000 in the middle from the hijack and was up against Maher Achour on the button.
Amjad Nader: K?Q?
Maher Achour: A?J?
Achour was ahead with top two pair, while Nader was looking to complete a straight draw to stay alive. The 4? turn was no help, but the 10? fell on the river to give Nader his straight. Nader jumped out of his seat and let out a big fist pump as Achour snapped a photo of the board before surrending the pot.
"I had two tens," a tablemate told Nader, suggesting he had hit one of the last two in the deck.
