Albert Daher had just taken his seat in the tournament when he went three-handed to a flop of 7♠3♥2♣. Matthew Valeo then bet 7,500 from early position and Daniel Negreanu called in the small blind, while Daher raised to 36,000 in the big blind. Only Valeo called.
The turn was the 2♦ and Daher bet 58,000. Valeo spent a minute in the tank before moving all in for 170,000, and Daher snap-called.
Daher showed A♦2♠ for trips. "That's a bad combo," Valeo said, turning over 5♠4♠ for a straight draw. The river was the 4♦ and Valeo was sent to the rail.
