Borteh Drags a Big One

We joined the action on the turn in what would grow to be a large pot between Javed Abrahams and Alexander Borteh. The board showed {K-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} when we walked up, and Abrahams was the first bettor. Borteh raised, and the two men capped the betting at five bets apiece to see the {5-Diamonds} hit the river. Abrahams bet again, and Borteh said, "Let me see if I can raise." He had just 8,500 chips left when he stacked them out, so Abrahams called the last 500 to see the showdown.

Borteh tabled {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} for the big full house, and Abrahams sunk in his chair. "Straight?" someone said, and Abrahams angrily flung his cards into the muck. After dragging the largest pot we can remember today, Borteh has doubled up to 135,000, dropping Abrahams down to about 170,000.
