Daher Doubles Through Rybachenko

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Sergey Rybachenko and Albert Daher
Sergey Rybachenko and Albert Daher

Alexey Rybin raised raised to 65,000 with {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} before Sergey Rybachenko made it 170,000 in the small blind. Jesse May and Jeffrey Hakim remarked in commentary that this was the perfect spot for a four bet all in from Albert Daher. This happened mainly because Daher held {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. Rybin got out of the way and Rybachenko instantly called.

The board came {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{A-Clubs} and Daher caught a lucky ace on the river to survive and double up, Rybachenko was crippled as a result.
