Wakil Chips Up; Nashar Determined to Be Chip Leader
Level 14
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Hassan Nashar checked from the big blind on a flop of 9♣J♦J♠, and Jamil Wakil fired out a bet of 20,000 from the button. Nashar opted to check-raise to 65,000, which Wakil called.
A 8♥ rolled off on the turn and Nashar continued his aggression from the flop by betting 90,000. Wakil took his time, but in the end, made the call to see a river.
Nashar immediately checked the 3♦ river. Wakil put together a bet of 165,000, which caused Nashar to fold instantly.
Nashat currently sits on around 1,300,000, and not long after the hand, he was informed that the chip leader from Day 1a made it through with around 1,400,000. Upon hearing this, Nashar responded by stating, "I'll either cross that or I'll lose everything!"
