Braband Stuns Arjang

It was a limped pot preflop that was contested among Tom Braband, Danny Lu and Payman Arjang. On a flop of {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {5-Clubs}, Braband and Lu checked to Arjang, who fired out 22,000. Braband's check-raise to 65,000 folded Lu, but Arjang stuck around to the turn {8-Spades}. Braband fired out another 65,000 and again Arjang called.

When the river fell {A-Hearts}, Braband shut down and checked. Arjang decided 130,000 was the correct amount to bet. Braband called after fifteen seconds, prompting Arjang to say, "Good call." Braband showed {3-Spades} {5-Hearts} for two pair, eights and fives, with an ace kicker. Arjang realized he had the same hand and quickly opened {6-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}.

"What are you doing?" Arjang asked in shock once he saw what Braband had called with. Braband didn't answer.
