Nader Holds Up With Aces, Much to His Surprise
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Amjad Nader moved all in for 133,000 under the gun and Dore Hajjar called in the small blind.
Amjad Nader: A♠A♥ 
Dore Hajjar: A♦K♦
"I'm going to lose. I never win with them," Nader said upon revealing his aces. The flop came Q♣9♥5♠, while Hajjar picked up a straight draw on the 10♠ turn.
The river, though, was the 3♥ and Nader held on to double up.
"You can feel his heart go boom, boom," tablemate Recep Aydemir said, placing his hand over Nader's chest.
