Fritz Sees the Funny Side of Nashar

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Manuel Fritz
Manuel Fritz

Ali Al-Kubasi raised to 24,000 from the hijack, with Hassan Nashar calling on the button and Manuel Fritz defending from the big blind.

When it checked to Nashar on the 8♠7♣5♠ flop, he bet 50,000, which only Fritz called.

Both players checked the 7♠ turn before the 2♥ completed the board. Fritz led out for 35,000, and Nashar quickly called.

Fritz showed 10♣9♠ for ten-high, prompting Nashar to comment, "How you win with ten-high?"

Standing and not yet showing his cards, Nashar continued, "How you bet with ten-high?"

Nashar then slowly rolled over Q♥8♦ for a pair of eights, and the pot was pushed his way, much to the amusement of the players at the table, including Fritz, and the crowd gathered nearby.
