Nader Rolls the Dice and Doubles Up
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Mustafa Biz opened from middle position and Yaniv Shushan three-bet to 25,000 from the cutoff. Alfred Nader cold-called from the big blind, then Biz shoved for around 150,000. Shushan took his time before he folded, and Nader called off his stack of almost 125,000, which left him at risk.
Alfred Nader: 3♠3♥ 
Mustafa Biz: A♥K♥
Nader was surely pleased to find that he was in a flip and his pocket threes held onto their lead on the 6♣Q♦2♦ flop. A 4♠ on the turn added a meaningless straight draw to Nader, and he improved to a set on the 3♣ river to double up.
"Yesssssss!" shouted Nader as the three came down on the river.
