Hand #31 – Farzad Rouhani

The button is with Andrey Zaichenko in Seat 4. The action folded to Farzad Rouhani in the cutoff who raised to 75,000. Jeff Courtney made the call in the big blind.

The two players took a flop of {5-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Courtney led out with a bet of 150,000 as a seemingly frustrated Rouhani stood up and cut down his remaining chips. He eventually decided to move all in with his last 472,000 chips and Courtney quickly called.

Rouhani: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Courtney: {J-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

Rouhani held the lead with his overpair and nut flush draw to leave Courtney drawing slim. The turn was the {9-Hearts} giving Rouhani the nut flush to leave Courtney drawing dead. The river is a meaningless {7-Clubs} and Rouhani doubled up to around 1 million in chips!
