Isaia Turns Taherkhani's Favorite Hand Against Him
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
It folded to Kanan Taherkhani on the button, who flicked in a raise to 6,000. Amir Hatefi three-bet to 15,000 in the small blind, and Alessio Isaia called cold in the big blind.
Taherkhani then four-bet to 61,000, with Hatefi and Isaia both calling. It checked to Taherkhani on the 2♠7♥7♣ flop. He fired for 100,000, folding out Hatefi.
However, Isaia put his opponent all in for 277,000, and Taherkhani called, putting himself at risk.
Kanan Taherkhani: A♣K♥
Alessio Isaia: 9♠9♥
Taherkhani was up against his favorite hand, and it took all his chips when the 8♦J♠ runout left him with ace-high.
