Alban Crashes Hard
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The action folded to Nissar Quraishi in the cutoff who put his short stack of 31,500 into the middle. Joseph Alban was in the big blind and revved up his little toy car before it crashed into the pile of chips in the middle of the table. Alban went on to call and the cards were tabled.
Nissar Quraishi: A♣J♥
Joseph Alban: A♠K♥
The flop of Q♠6♦5♥ left Alban in the lead with the better ace-high. However, the J♠ on the turn paired Quraishi who took an overwhelming lead. The 4♣ on the river bricked out and Quraishi collected a double up.
