Sam Khoueis opened the action with a limp from under the gun. The player to his left called and in middle position, a player made it 2,100. Action folded back around and Khoueis was the only caller.

The flop was {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Spades} and Khoueis checked. His opponent put out a bet of 2,000 and Khoueis instantly moved all in for roughly 25,000. Khoueis then leaned over and started talking to some of the player at the adjacent table who were surprised to hear that Khoueis was all in.

"Do you have aces?" Someone at the other table asked.

"I don't have aces, he's got aces," Khoueis said. "If I lose I can come back tomorrow.

This left Khoueis' opponent questioning. "Ace three huh?" He asked.

Khoueis burst out laughing. Eventually, the player folded so Khoueis was awarded the pot.

"I'll show you if you show me," Khoueis said to the other player. The player didn't agree but Khoueis showed his {7-Spades}{6-Spades} anyways.

"I moved in with seven-high!" Khoueis exclaimed. "He's been raising me every hand."

With that, Khoueis inched back to the starting stack mark of 30,000.
