Rockets, Cowboys and Ladies
There was quite a commotion at Table 402 in Horseshoe Blue, as a huge cooler had just taken place after a trap set by Assaf Zeharia. Action was recounted by players at the table as follows.
Palvinder Brar opened the action with a raise to 32,000 from early position, and Zeharia smooth-called. Shay Cohen then shoved all in from the button for around 250,000, and Brar did the same, except his was for just under 400,000. Zeharia called, showing that his plan had worked exactly how he wished.
Shay Cohen: Q♥Q♠ 
Palvinder Brar: K♥K♣
Assaf Zeharia: A♣A♥
It seemed as though Zeharia had flopped the other two dead, as the dealer put out J♦A♠9♣. However, both players picked up outs on the Q♣ turn as Cohen could now win with quads, and Brar had a gutshot. They both missed on the J♥ river as the hand ended in boat over boat, as Brar had the worst of it with two pair.
