Niste's Ladies End Up Second Best to Saab's Big Slick
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Mihai Niste started the hand with a raise to 10,000. Imad Saab was next to act and three-bet to 32,000. When it got back to Niste he four-bet shoved for roughly 150,000. Saab called and the cards were revealed.
Mihai Niste: Q♦Q♥ 
Imad Saab: A♥K♠
Niste was the player at risk, and needed his Ladies to hold if he was to continue his journey in this event. The flop of 10♠2♠2♥ was great for Niste, but the K♣ fell on the turn to catapult Saab into the lead. There was no miracle river for Niste as the 8♦ fell, sending him to the rail.
