Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Albert Daher
Albert Daher

Albert Daher raised to 100,000 on the button with {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Andrei Nikonov called in the big blind with {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} to see a {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop. Both players checked and Daher hit gin with the {6-Diamonds} on the turn. Nikonov led for 145,000 and made a call when Daher raised to 410,000.

The river was the {2-Hearts} and Nikonov checked, Daher bet 900,000 into a pot with just over a million in. Nikonov didn't waste too much time in calling but could only sigh and roll his eyes when Daher turned over the set. With that, Daher is now the clear chip leader.
