Khodayarkhani Wins a Near Five Million-Chip Flip
Kasra Khodayarkhani raised to 200,000 from under the gun, Daniel Weinman three-bet to what looked like 500,000 in the big blind, and Khodayarkhani moved all in for 2.39 million. Weinman instantly called.
Khodayarkhani:
Weinman:
Nearly five million chips were in the middle, and if Weinman were to win the flip, he would have more than two-thirds of the chips in play.
"All-diamond flop," he requested.
He was close, because the flop had two diamonds. Weinman called for no cards on the turn, but perhaps he should have because the hit the felt, giving Khodayarkhani a leading pair of queens.
Just for kicks and giggles, Khodayarkhani improved to two pair when the completed the board, and he doubled to 4.85 million chips. Weinman fell to 4.71 million.
