Alkassir Traps With Aces
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
After a limp, Ghassan Alkassir made it to 4,500, and three players called, included Robert Tanita in late position, and the two players in the blind.
Then, on a 
flop, Alkassir bet 15,000, Tanita called and one of the player in the blind check-raised all in, for about 50,000. Alkassir called and Tanita finally folded.
Opponent: 
Ghasan Alkassir: 
"I had the ace of club", said Tanita, before the dealer put a 
turn and a 
on the river. Tanita would have scooped that pot, but finally, it was for Alkassir. One player was eliminated.
