Khalili Gets Tricky With Cowboys
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
A player opened the action with a raise from middle position, and was called by Sohale Khalili in the hijack, a player in the cutoff called, before Michael Nia three-bet all in for 8,800 on the button. Once the blinds folded, the original raiser folded, and Khalili made the call. The cutoff then folded to leave the players heads up, with Nia at risk.
Michael Nia: K♥10♦ 
Sohale Khalili: K♠K♦
Khalili set the trap with his pocket kings and let Nia walk right into it. Once the board ran out 5♣5♦7♥10♠6♥ the pocket kings of Khalili were still best, to give him the pot and knockout Nia.
