Nakhle Wins Massive Pot But Loses a Friend
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
In a preflop confrontation, Patrick Atallah was all in preflop for roughly 375,000 and up against Paul Nakhle who had him covered.
Patrick Atallah: K♥K♠
Paul Nakhle: A♠A♦
It was the ultimate cooler for Atallah who had run into pocket aces holding pocket kings. The A♣A♥6♦ flop gave Nakhle quads leaving Atallah drawing dead as the rest of the board ran out J♦2♣.
"Easy game" a player at the table commented after the board ran out. Nakhle mentioned that Atallah was his friend and the latter player joked that they might not be friends anymore as he left the tournament area while Nakhle dragged in a colossal pot.
