Premium Hands Galore!
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Nissar Quraishi opened to 10,000 in early position and Christopher Day three-bet to 27,000 in the cutoff. Ketan Shah just called from the small blind and Quraishi four-bet to 54,000. Day five-bet shoved all in for 184,000 and Shah reshoved all in for 306,000. Quraishi asked for a count and then laid his hand down, flashing the A♦ in the process.
Christopher Day: A♠A♥
Ketan Shah: K♣K♦
"Wow!" Quraishi exclaimed. "You saved me. I folded ace-king."
If true, that meant Shah was down to just a single out. The board ran out Q♣10♥6♦4♣5♣ and Day's pocket aces held on for a double up.
