Nader Makes a Huge Hero Call
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
The pot had already swelled to over 900,000 with the full board reading 3♣4♥J♠6♣J♥. Karen Nazarian, in the big blind, moved all in for 400,000 and his tournament life. Alfred Nader, in middle position, went into the tank.
Nader thought for some time before making the call. Nazarian tabled K♥9♦ for just king high, while Nader slammed 5♦5♠ onto the felt, claiming one of the biggest pots of this tournament and sending Nazarian to the rail with just a pair of fives.
