Hemyari Wins Multiway

Level 1 : Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante

Aram Zobian opened to 2,500 in middle position, gathering calls from Adrian Mateos in the cutoff, Orpen Kisacikoglu on the button and Keyavash Hemyari in the small blind.

When the action checked to him on the 7410 flop, Zobian continued for 4,500. Mateos folded, but Kisacikoglu and Hemyari stuck around.

All three players checked on the J turn, tempting Hemyari to lead out for 15,000 on the 2 river. The bet was enough to see both his opponents cede, as they returned their cards to the dealer, who pushed the pot to Hemyari.
