Daher Finds Kings in Three-Way All-In; Strobel Eliminated
Adrian Strobel shoved from under the gun for 800,000 and Jessica Teusl reshoved around 2,300,000 from the small blind. Albert Daher was in the big blind and was thinking what hand he would call off for his stack of 1,400,000.
"What do I need to call?" he asked himself. "Kings I guess,". Daher then peeled a king, "Well, the first one is a king,". Then he took a peek at his second card and snap-called.
Adrian Strobel: A♥K♦
Albert Daher: K♥K♣
Jessica Teusl: 9♠9♥
Amazingly, Daher had called out his kings and was a big favorite to almost triple up. Strobel held an ace and was live, but if a nine came, Teusl would burst the bubble and bring everybody else in the money.
"I never win these," commented Daher. "I'm so dead, like, zero percent."
However, it was Daher that kept his lead through the 7♣J♦3♥ flop, much to his surprise. An 8♥ on the turn did give Teusl a straight draw, and Daher still thought he couldn't win the hand.
"Ok that's it, I can't win," he said.
But win he did as the Q♥ on the river kept his pocket kings ahead the whole way, which sent Strobel to the rail.
