Shahikarijani Wins a Flip Against O'Grady
Level 36
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Majid Shahikarijani shoved around 10,000,000 from the button and when it got to Michael O'Grady in the big blind, he immediately called.
Majid Shahikarijani: K♥9♦
Michael O'Grady: 8♥8♣
O'Grady had a chance to take a ginormous chip into heads-up play, but that seemed unlikely after the Q♣2♠K♣ flop gave Shahikarijani top pair.
"Club for a sweat," said O'Grady. Instead, the 2♦ rolled off on the turn, putting Shahikarijani one step closer to a double-up. The Q♦ did lock up the pot for Shahikarijani, who doubled to around 22,000,000.
