Khordbin Wins a Monster Heading to Break
Level 6
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
The rest of the field had already left on break while Hadi Khordbin and Jing Wang found themselves tangled in a massive pot.
According to tablemate Hakan Pamukcu, Khordbin had raised before the flop from under the gun and received three callers. He continuation bet the Q♦K♠8♠ flop and Wang called on the button.
The turn was the 2♦ and Wang bet 40,000. Khordbin then moved all in for 267,000 and Wang tanked for several minutes into the break before calling with Q♥8♣ for two pair.
Khordbin, though, had 8♥8♦ for a set and held on the 3♦ river to earn the double up.
