Al-Shanti Wins Big Pot At the Very End
The emotions were flying high when Abdullah Al-Shanti and Neal Corcoran got their chips into the middle after a preflop raising war when the former was the player at risk. "Kings versus aces, I got aces in a huge pot," Al-Shanti told Iaron Lightbourne on a nearby table and his British rail.
Abdullah Al-Shanti: A♦A♥
Neal Corcoran: K♥K♠
The A♠10♣9♠ flop gave Al-Shanti top set and the 3♦ turn locked up the large double as a now meaningless 8♥ river completed the board. Al-Shanti doubled for 2,480,000 and then apologised for his outburst, even bumped fists with Corcoran.
Just prior, Al-Shanti had lost a big pot and recovered the losses in this setup hand.
