Bahranipoor Strikes Again
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
After a preflop betting war with a fellow big stack, all of the chips found their way into the middle between Joseph Bahranipoor and another player, with Bahranipoor covering.
Player: A♣K♠
Joseph Bahranipoor: K♣Q♣
Bahranipoor needed some help to come out ahead with his dominated hand, but the deck found a way as the flop came out Q♦Q♥9♥ to give him a huge lead with trip queens. Only a running straight or aces could save the at-risk player, but the turn 3♦ left him dead in the water and the 4♥ sent him shaking his head all the way to the exit.
