Three-handed on a flop of 10♥6♥Q♠, Khossein Kokhestani bet 70,000 from the hijack and Alexandros Kolonias called in the cutoff. Leon Zeaiter then raised to 200,000 on the button and only Kokhestani called.

The turn was the 5♣ and Zeaiter bet another 300,000. Kokhestani quickly called and the 3♥ fell on the river. Kokhestani then put his hood over his head and announced he was all in for 800,000.

Zeaiter took around two minutes before calling as Kokhestani turned over A♥8♥ for the rivered nut flush. Zeaiter slammed his chips on the table in frustration as he showed Q♣10♠ for two pair before handing over the massive pot.
