Bezhanyan Flips Out Sarkis

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Wael Sarkis
Wael Sarkis

Wael Sarkis' stack of around 220,000 got into the middle preflop from the big blind, with Aren Bezhanyan being the player trying to bust him from middle position.

Wael Sarkis: AK All in
Aren Bezhanyan: 88

It was a coin flip that Sarkis ended up on the wrong end of, as the board came J678K to give Bezhanyan a set of eights.

Sarkis took a picture of the board before vacating his seat, while Bezhanyan's stack breached the seven-figure mark.
