Ben Jensen was seen standing up and shaking the hand of the tournament director as piles and piles of chips were being pushed to his direct right, the seat occupied by Maz Keshavarzi. According to the table, the pot was worth over 2 million in chips and the action went as follows:
Action folded to Keshavarzi in the small blind and he raised to 60,000. Jensen defended his big blind and the flop came ![]()
![]()
. Keshavarzi made a continuation-bet of 80,000 and Jensen peeled.
The turn came
and Keshavarzi checked. Jensen bet 100,000 and Keshavarzi put in a check-raise to 250,000. After some thought, Jensen made the call (Keshavarzi would later add that it was a great call).
The river fell
and Keshavarzi shoved for what was still over 500,000 effectively. Jensen called.
Maz Keshavarzi: ![]()
![]()
Ben Jensen: ![]()
![]()
After calling twice correctly with queens while a king and later an ace were on board, he Jensen had improved to a set on the river. Unfortunately for him, it was one of the two cards in the deck that Keshavarzi could hit to make a better hand and Jensen was sent home in brutal fashion.
Meanwhile, Keshavarzi has elevated to a massive chip lead with a stack significantly over two million in chips.
