Demon Daher Collecting Chips

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

In two recent back-to-back hands, Albert Daher displayed how he has been using his big stack, position, and his instincts to pick up pots without showdown.

The player in Seat 2 opened to 1,100, and Daher three-bet to 3,400 in position. The remaining players folded, and Seat 2 called. The flop was {q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, and both players checked. On the {j-Diamonds} turn, it was checked to Daher, and a 2,700 bet from him saw the pot pushed his way.

On the next hand, Seat 2 opened again for 1,100, and Daher called. The player in the big blind called, too. The flop was {7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades}, and the player in the big blind led out for 1,300. Seat 2 raised to 5,000. Action was on Daher, but as he thought, the player in the big blind called the raise out of turn. The mistake was taken back, and Daher then raised to 12,500. Both the big blind and Seat 2 surrendered their cards.
