Sherkhan Scoops, Seeks Fans

[user25067]

Aren't you rooting for me?

Omaha 8:

On a flop of {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

Sherkhan Farnood bet and Ivo Donev called. The {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

landed on the turn. Farnood bet again and Donev called. The {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

paired the board on the river. Undeterred, Farnood led again and Donev called.

Farnood showed {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

for a flush and scooped the pot.

Then, perhaps a bit jealous of Howard Lederer's railbirds (including Andy Bloch, his niece Jen Creason, and writer Michael Craig) the affable Farnood offered himself a round of applause.
