Chipleader No More, Nasief Loses a Big One
Niveau 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Ibrahim Nasief, who started this level as the chipleader, opened from early position for 23,000. Action folded to Phil Mader in the hijack and he three-bet to 102,000. The cutoff, button, and both blinds folded, and action was back on Nasief. Nasief four-bet to 287,000 and the action was on Mader. The latter five-bet to 500,000 with 315,000 behind. Nasief thought about it for a bit and moved in. Mader called.
Mader: 
Nasief: 
The board ran out an uneventful 
and Mader got his double. Mader, who went deep in this event back in 2013 (43rd, $185,694), is now up to almost 1.7 million.
