Jose Astima was spotted leaving his table while a few players from nearby gathered to see what had happened, as another player also hit the rail in William Saad. According to the rail, Saman Nakhjavani, who had his tabled, had looked up the ace-king of Astima and the pocket nines of Saad and flopped a set, turned quads to leave both drawing dead.
Saad even spiked a nine on the river for a full house to add further salt to his misery.
