Daher's Prayers Don't Go Answered
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Albert Daher raised to 40,000 in the cutoff, then folded when Sam Greenwood three-bet to 285,000 in the small blind.
Daher again opened to 40,000 the next hand and Greenwood called on the button, as did big blind Artur Martirosian.
The flop came 5?5?5? and Daher continued for 85,000. Greenwood called and Martirosian folded.
Both players checked the 9? turn and Daher tanked for nearly a minute before checking the A? river. Greenwood then bet 160,000.
"I was praying no ace," Daher said with a sigh as he mucked. "I will bet that's ace-queen," he added as Greenwood took the pot.
