Bagheri Leaves Alvarez With a Crumb

Level 28 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The action was tepid until the river as it read {4-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Mohammad Bagheri bet 650,000, Michael Alvarez moved all in and Bagheri snap-called.

Alvarez tabled the straight with the {j-Clubs}{2-Hearts} but Bagheri had the high ground with the {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for the higher straight. For a moment Bagheri had thought he had won but the stacks were so close that an exact count was needed.

The dealer counted out both stacks which took over a minute, the tension palpable as neither player was sure if it was over or not as the watching rail crowded the table. Eventually, it was determined that Alvarez had 105,000, about one small blind remaining as Bagheri was not yet the winner.
