Ahmadian Keeps Firing Until He Makes It
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A player under the gun raised to 2,700 and Elia Ahmadian three-bet to 8,000 on the button. The under-the-gun player then four-bet to 26,000, and Ahmadian five-bet to 48,000. His opponent then moved all in, and Ahmadian called for 86,100.
Elia Ahmadian: K♣K♥
Opponent: Q♥Q♠
Ahmadian had his opponent crushed with his kings and improved to top set on the K♦4♠J♣ flop. The rest of the board ran out 9♥2♦, and Ahmadian doubled up.
"How do you do it, Elia?" a tablemate asked him.
"Just keep firing. Eventually you'll get a hand," Ahmadian replied.
