Alsoud Doubles with Aces
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Around 12,500 was in front of Atush Esker, who was faced with an all-in from Modar Alsoud for 31,000, which had sent Esker deep into the tank.
Eventually Alsoud asked for the clock to be called. With 20 seconds remaining, Esker got a coin out of his pocket, and said if it landed heads he'd call. Sure enough it did, and Esker was true to his word and called it off.
Modar Alsoud: A♦A♠ 
Atush Esker: J♦9♣
Alsoud was in great shape for a double-up with the rockets, and it was confirmed by the 8♥6♦4♣5♠6♣ runout.
