"Call and Pray" For Ghashayar Against Nahm
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
With around 500,000 in the pot on a board of 5♣6♦A♣3♠, Iman Ghashayar bet 280,000 from the big blind before Stephen Nahm moved all in from the small blind. Ghashayar tanked for a few minutes and eventually called for his last 1,450,000.
Nahm showed A♠8♠ for a pair of aces, but Ghashayar was ahead with A♥K♣. The river was the 3♣ and Ghashayar doubled up.
"Not an easy call," a tablemate told him after the hand.
"Call and pray," Ghashayar replied.
