Nimer Cracks Aces to Survive
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Boris Kolev raised to 100,000 from an early position and Jefferson Guerrero called in the cutoff. Ahmed Nimer in the big blind glanced over at the stack of Kolev and also called as they headed to the three-way flop of Q♥6♠3♠. Nimer open-jammed his short stack and Kolev called with the covering stack, Guerrero folded.
Ahmed Nimer: Q♠8♠ 
Boris Kolev: A♦A♥
Nimer's top pair and flush draw had plenty of equity and improved with the 8♥ turn, the 10♥ river secured his double for 565,000 to leave Kolev short.
