Kokhestani Picks Off La [Removed:534] in the Biggest Pot of the Tournament
[Removed:533] raised to 26,000 on the button and Georgios Karakousis and Khossein Kokhestani called in the blinds.
La [Removed:534] continued for 28,000 on the Q♣8♥6♥ flop and both opponents called. The turn was the A♦ and La [Removed:534] bet another 130,000.
Only Kokhestani called this time and the 5♥ fell on the river. La [Removed:534] then moved all in, sending Kokhestani deep into the tank.
Kokhestani took several minutes and burned through most of his time banks before calling for 592,000. La [Removed:534] could only show K♦9♥ for a bluff as Kokhestani threw down A♠6♠ for two pair and slammed the table in celebration.
"He had a flush or nothing," Kokhestani said, snapping a photo of the board before raking in the massive pot worth 1,600,000.
