Stafman Hits the Rail Against Ihlamur

With more than two million in the pot to the 8♥7♦6♣Q♠4♦ river, Tyler Stafman checked from under the gun. Osman Ihlamur announced all-in on the button and that sent Stafman deep into the tank.

He ultimately announced call and one of the players instantly remarked "it's a good call", perhaps thinking that Ihlamur was still steaming from his ill-timed bluff in the previous hand.

However, as soon as Ihlamur exposed his 10♠9♠ for the flopped nut straight, they changed their mind to "oh, it's not a good call". Stafman mucked his cards but the K♠K♥ for an overpair were exposed.

Both stacks were very close but Ihlamur covered by a few big blinds. Not long ago, Stafman had flopped the nut straight with the very same cards against pocket kings and lost to now see his fate sealed the exact opposite way.
