El Ghassan Picks Up Aces in Massive Three-Way All In as Yugay Gets Away

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Viktor Yugay three-bet to 77,000 in the big blind and Samir Nacer called in early position. Kassem Hammoud then moved all in for 263,000 in middle position and Elie El Ghassan reshoved for 293,000 in the hijack.

Yugay let out a laugh and tanked for a few minutes before folding, later claiming he had ace-king. Nacer also took several minutes, but he ended up calling to create a three-way all in.

Kassem Hammoud: JJ All in
Elie El Ghassan: AA All in
Samir Nacer: KQ

El Ghassan was far ahead with his aces as the flop came 1085. Nacer was already drawing dead after the 2 turn, while Hammoud didn't find any miracles on the 4 river as El Ghassan scooped the pot, sending Hammoud to the rail and earning a double up off Nacer.
