Taleb Fades Everything To Double
Level 13
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Matthew Levin was in middle position opened the action with a raise to 8,000 and Ahmed Taleb three-bet all in for his last 22,000 from the button. Action got back to Levin and he called.
Ahmed Taleb: 
Matthew Levin: 
The two were off to the races as the flop came 
, leaving the odds relatively unchanged as Levin found himself with 13 outs by means of any card that was a jack or higher set to improve him beyond Taleb's holding. The turn 
gave Levin three more counterfeit outs for the river, which fell 
and left his ace-king second-best to Taleb's pocket fours.
Both players shrugged and smiled as the runout completed and Levin paid off the 22,000.
