Khordbin Gets There
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Hadi Khordbin in the big blind got all of his chips into the middle on a flop of K♣8♥4♥ against the button, which created a pot of around 400,000.
Hadi Khordbin: K♥10♥ 
Button: 4♦4♠
Khordbin had flopped top pair and a flush draw but was way behind to the set of his opponent. However, that all changed when the 9♥ dropped on the turn, which improved Khordbin to a flush. Only a board-pairing river would send Khordbin out, but instead the A♥ gave him the nuts and a double-up.
