There's a New Sherif in Town

We caught the tail end of a heads-up contest between Sherif Zacca and Said Kheir. With the community cards already out in the middle of the table, the board read {10-Spades} {J-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}, and there were about 25,000 chips in the pot. Zacca was in the small blind first to act, and he fired out a bet of 14,000. Kheir would take a few minutes to debate his options before splashing in the call.

Zacca turned up his {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades}, and Kheir could not table anything to beat the nut straight. Zacca's Broadway was the winner winner, earning him another nice little pot. With those extra chips, he has climbed over 300,000 and is now perched firmly atop the leader board.
