Level 26
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Mohammad Bagheri opened to 1,420,000 from the button and Mahesh Rathi three-bet jammed, totaling just over 2.7 million. Bagheri snap-called and Rathi was at risk as the cards went face-up.
Mahesh Rathi: 
Mohammad Bagheri: 
The flop rolled out 
and both players hit a pair but Bagheri was leading. Rathi picked up some straight outs on the 
turn card to stay alive.
Unfortunately for Rathi, he failed to connect with the river when a 
landed and was eliminated in 3rd place for $16,194.
The heads-up portion of Event 5 is now underway between Michael Alvarez and Bagheri.
