Khorchidian Predicts the Future...Almost
Level 36
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Dmitry Gromov raised to 1,100,000 from the cutoff and Bogdan Jontulovic shoved from the button.
"You know what, this is crazy," said Nichan Khorchidian in the big blind, who then called off his stack of 10,300,000. Gromov quickly folded.
"I said that I will get pocket kings and you will get ace-x, then I will lose," said Khorchidian.
Nichan Khorchidian: K♣K♠ 
Bogdan Jontulovic: A♠10♠
Khorchidian's prediction on the cards was spot on, but there was still a runout to come and Gromov had folded an ace.
The flop of 6♠J♦Q♥ did give Jontulovic a gutshot, but Khorchidian held two of his outs. The 4♥ turn and 7♥ river changed nothing, and Khorchidian earned a double-up.
