Massive Cooler Puts Fabiao Out Front
Level 3
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Some players head to the rail talking about a cooler where they ran kings into aces and there was nothing they could do. In this case, the cooler went above and beyond when the two players got all of their chips in the middle preflop after for a pot of around 300,000 chips.
Opponent: K♥K♣
Gregory Fabiao: A♠A♥
The flop came K♦8♥2♠ and Fabiao couldn't believe it as he was about to see his pocket aces go up in flames. However, the deck had other plans as the A♣ peeled off on the turn to give Fabiao the superior set. The 2♦ hit the river and Fabiao barely had his opponent covered, scooping a massive pot early on Day 1b.
