"Farmer Phil" Sets Up Taleb

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After Jeff Maas limped from early position, MSPT Grand Falls champ Ahmed Taleb raised to 4,500 next to act. Nebraska farmer Phil Mader, who was next in line, then three-bet to 15,000. Action folded back to Maas, who folded, and then Taleb called to see a {3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

Both Taleb and Mader checked and the dealer burned and turned the {j-Spades}. Taleb led out for 13,000 and Mader paused for a few beats before making the call.

When the {a-Spades} completed the board on the river, Taleb returned to checking and Mader thought for a bit before sliding out a bet of 40,000. Taleb asked for a count, cut out chips of his own, and called.

Mader rolled over the {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for a flopped set of kings and Taleb just shook his head as he sent his hand to the muck.
