Fardad Spikes the River to Double Through Steven

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

In the last hand before the dinner break, Steve Gross opened for 40,000 from early position only to have Farshad Fardad three-bet to 115,000. Chip leader Brandon Steven then four-bet to 267,000 from the big blind, Gross folded and Fardad moved all in for 910,000. Steven Made a quick call and was in a dominant spot.

Fardad: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Steven: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Steven was primed to extend his chip lead quite considerably, and that seemed likely through the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop and {6-Spades} turn. Fardad needed an eight or a spade on the river to stay alive, and wouldn't you know it, the {8-Hearts} peeled off and Steven took a hit prior to leaving for dinner.
