Madani Wins Biggest Pot Of The Tournament

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We just caught the end of a crazy hand that has skyrocketed Seyed Madani into the chip lead. When we came to the table, the board read {3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. Madani had put out a bet of what looked like 38,000 into a pot that had about 50,000. His opponent, Pietermichae De Goede, who was virtually even with him in chips, asked how much he had, then announced all in. Madani called fairly quickly, and De Goede INSTANTLY mucked. Madani tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for rivered broadway, and De Goede's hand was flipped up, showing {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a missed straight draw. It took about 10 minutes, and 4 racks, for Madani to stack up all his chips, and when he did, it looked like he was sitting at about 500,000.
