Nimer Hero Calls with Ace High to Win 32,000-Chip Pot

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

With 15,800 already in the middle on a {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} board, Ahmed "A.J." Nimer checked from the small blind.

The big blind bet 7,200 and while Nimer started to send his cards toward the muck, he reconsidered and after a minute, he made the call.

Nimer won the had with {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, correctly calling his opponent's {k-}{j-}.

The very next hand, Nimer came with a three-bet for 4,500 from the button against an early position player. The big blind cold called and the early position flicked in a red chip.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Nimer put in a quarter-pot-sized bet of 3,200. The big blind called and the player in early position let his cards go.

On the {7-Hearts} turn, Nimer fired for 15,000 and his opponent folded, taking the Dallas native's stack close to 100,000.
