Ultimate Cooler Turns into Brutal Bad Beat as Aido Takes Chip Lead
Level 13
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action folded to Sergio Aido in the cutoff, and he raised to 24,000 before Sameh Elamawy on the button three-bet to 95,000. Once the blinds folded, it was back on Aido, who put in a four-bet to 195,000. Elamawy then five-bet jammed for his stack of 920,000, which Aido called to put Elamawy at risk.
Sameh Elamawy: A♠A♥ 
Sergio Aido: K♥K♣
It was the ultimate cooler as Aido's kings ran into the aces of Elamawy. However, the board ran out 8♣6♣7♥Q♣10♣, giving Aido a flush and the chip lead, eliminating Elamawy in stunning fashion.
