Straights Are Hot; Beers Are Coming
On a board reading A♣7♦10♥3♣4♥, Amir Mirrasouli bet a cool 2,000,000 and put Kevin Rand at a tough decision, as he went deep in the tank, hoping to get a read on Mirrasouli. Ultimately, he folded and the dealer pushed the pot to Mirrasouli.
Just a few hands later Stephen Nahm raised to 160,000 but was soon faced with a raise to 400,000 from Mirrasouli. Nahm didn't waste time calling when it folded back to him.
The dealer put up a flop of 3♣5♦6♦ and both players checked. Nahm checked on the 4♥ and this time Mirrasouli bet 700,000. This time Nahm did think a moment before making the call. The river brought a 7x and both players checked. Mirrasouli opened his hand to show A♥10♥8♦Xx for ace high and Nahm showed a hand that made the six high straight, awarding him the pot.
In other news, Nahm said he has informed service to bring him a fresh beer every 18 minutes. He's currently on his third.
