Eftekhari Gets Paid by Gavish in Massive Pot
Albert Diwan raised to 1,300 in middle position and Seyedamir Eftekhari called in the hijack before Daniel Gavish three-bet to 6,500 in the cutoff. Both opponents called and they saw a flop of 10♠9♣3♥.
Gavish continued for 5,000 and both Diwan and Eftekhari stuck around to see the K♠ turn. Gavish then bet 16,000.
Diwan folded, but Eftekhari raised to 47,000. Gavish called and the A♦ fell on the river. Eftekhari then bet another 47,000.
Gavish spent several minutes in the tank before Rachid El Yaacoubi called the clock. "One hour," El Yaacoubi joked.
"I agree, it's been a long time," Gavish added. He waited until the countdown had nearly reached zero before putting in the chips to call as Eftekhari showed Q♦J♠ for the nut straight to win the massive pot.
