Afsharorumieh Stuns Bakir
Odi Bakir limped in from under the gun and after a few more limps, Afshin Afsharorumieh bumped it up to 7,000 from the button. Bakir called, one limper folder, and the cutoff called.
On the A♦5♣8♣ flop, the action checked to Afsharorumieh, who fired out 5,000. Bakir quickly made it 20,000, the cutoff folded, and Afsharorumieh called.
A 2♠ on the turn saw Afsharorumieh call a bet of 20,000 from Bakir to the 5♥ river, where Bakir shoved 46,500. Afsharorumieh asked for a count and without much thinking, he called.
"King," said Bakir as he flipped over K♦10♥ for just king-high. Afsharorumieh had that beat as he rolled over 9♠9♣ for a pair of nines to scoop the pot and eliminate Bakir.
Bakir looked stunned and was glued to his chair for around 30 seconds after the hand was over digesting what just happened, before he eventually stood up and vacated the tournament area.
