Khodayarkhani Wins a Near Five Million-Chip Flip

Level 33 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Kasra Khodayarkhani

Kasra Khodayarkhani raised to 200,000 from under the gun, Daniel Weinman three-bet to what looked like 500,000 in the big blind, and Khodayarkhani moved all in for 2.39 million. Weinman instantly called.

Khodayarkhani: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Weinman: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Nearly five million chips were in the middle, and if Weinman were to win the flip, he would have more than two-thirds of the chips in play.

"All-diamond flop," he requested.

He was close, because the {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop had two diamonds. Weinman called for no cards on the turn, but perhaps he should have because the {q-Spades} hit the felt, giving Khodayarkhani a leading pair of queens.

Just for kicks and giggles, Khodayarkhani improved to two pair when the {a-Clubs} completed the board, and he doubled to 4.85 million chips. Weinman fell to 4.71 million.
