Level 21 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Afzal Atta

Afzal Atta opened to 50,000 under the gun, and got one caller in Najib Kero two seats to the left.

Atta continued for 80,000 on the {3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop, and Kero called.

The turn came the {8-Hearts}, Atta checked, Kero went all in, and Atta called.

Afzal Atta: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Najib Kero: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

It looked like Kero was about to be on the wrong end of a cooler, his trip nines dominated by Atta's eights full. The miracle {a-Spades} came in on the river, however, and Kero sent Atta to the rail with a beter full house.
