"Let"s gamble," Hassan Nashar said when he sat down at his table. From the cutoff, he opened to 20,000 and was called by the player in the big blind. "We have a gambler, ladies and gentleman," Nashar said before discovering a flop of 5♣K♠5♠.
Both players checked, and they checked again on the 3♥ turn. "An ace, not for me but for him," Nashar asked before the 2♣ landed on the river.
This last card of the board brought no action, so the big blind flipped over Q♠7♣. "You called me with this s***?" Nashar said, before revealed A♣8♣ for the best hand.
