Saad's Aces Taken Down by Lahmani's Kings
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/3,500, 3,500 ante
Elie Saad was under the gun and opened up the action, only to be three-bet by Oshri Lahmani to 20,000 in the next seat. The two players then got their stacks into the middle with Saad at risk for around 100,000.
Elie Saad: A♣A♦ 
Oshri Lahmani: K♥K♦
Saad was on the right side of a cooler, but there was still a runout of five cards to sweat. The flop of 4♦7♣J♣ was safe for Saad and he even picked up a backdoor flush draw, but the K♠ on the turn was the worst card in deck for the Lebanese player as his opponent improved to a set. Only an ace on the river could save Saad, but instead the 3♣ rolled off, which meant Lahmani took the pot.
