Nashar Loses One, Still Has Decent Stack
Level 13
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Hassan Nashar open-raised to 50,000 from under the gun and a short stacked player at the table moved all in for 170,000 from late position. Nashar had already announced his call before other players folded, and when it got round to him he made it official.
Late Position: A♣J♦
Hassan Nashar: Q♦10♦
"Coinflip," said the late position player, although he was slightly ahead as the board was dealt. Nashar picked up a pair of queens on the 6♥K♠Q♠ flop, and the late position player stood up to leave. The A♠ turn gave him top pair, though, and he sat back down to see the 8♣ river.
Nashar lost the pot, but after firing several bullets still had a decent stack of around 2x the average to play with.
