Cada Doubles Through Daher

Will Shillibier

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Albert Daher was the big stack at the table, and he open-jammed from the cutoff to isolate three shorter stacks in late position. The button folded and Joe Cada had a decision in the small blind. He eventually moved all in himself and the big blind folded.

"Pair?" asked Daher.

Albert Daher:
Joe Cada:

The flop came giving no help to Cada. The turn was the giving him additional straight outs, which he duly took advantage of on the river, giving him a wheel and left an exasperated-looking Daher looking to the heavens before counting out his opponent's double-up.
