Hevad Khan
Hevad Khan
Hevad Khan is quietly doing his thing here at the LAPC. Yes, we said quietly. Ever since he burst onto the scene at the 2007 World Series of Poker with some crazy antics, Khan has been a model poker player, routinely taking and giving beats in relative quiet.

Khan is up to 42,500 today after sending a player to the rail. We don't know how the two of them got to the river, but on the river of a {Q-?} {6-?} {9-?} {3-?} {7-?} board, Khan moved all in and was called. Khan showed {10-?} {8-?}, having flopped a double belly-buster draw that filled on the river to give him the nuts. His opponent showed pocket sixes for a flopped set, 666. It was an incredibly unlucky number for him; his day is over.
