Nader Holds Up With Aces, Much to His Surprise
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Amjad Nader moved all in for 133,000 under the gun and Dore Hajjar called in the small blind.
Amjad Nader: A?A? 
Dore Hajjar: A?K?
"I'm going to lose. I never win with them," Nader said upon revealing his aces. The flop came Q?9?5?, while Hajjar picked up a straight draw on the 10? turn.
The river, though, was the 3? and Nader held on to double up.
"You can feel his heart go boom, boom," tablemate Recep Aydemir said, placing his hand over Nader's chest.
