Jaafar's Kings Can't Hold

Action started with Mohammed Jaafar raising it up to 36,000. Omar Saeed was next to act, and he three bet it to 86,000. Everyone else got out of the way, and it was back to Jaafar. He moved all in 292,000, and Saeed called to put him at risk.

Jaafar: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Saeed: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Jaafar was well out in front, until the flop came down {2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{a-Clubs}. Saeed caught his ace, and Jaafar would now need running clubs or the case king to win the hand. However, the {a-Diamonds} hit the turn, giving Saeed unbeatable trips, and sending Jaafar to the rail. The meaningless river was the {4-Clubs}, and Saeed collected the chips to get up to 1.382 million.
