Meyer Finds Call in Biggest Pot of Tournament
Heads up on a flop of 4♣2♠9♠, Robin Meyer bet 200,000 from the big blind before Faramarz Safari moved all in from the hijack. The two players had nearly identical stacks, and Meyer went deep into the tank.
Meyer buried his face in his hands before trying to ask Safari some questions. Safari just smiled and remained silent as Meyer spent a few more minutes shaking his head. He eventually grabbed a tower of his chips and stuck them in the middle, to a round of "Wows" from the rest of the table. "Queens or jacks?" a tablemate asked Meyer.
Faramarz Safari: Q♠J♠ 
Robin Meyer: K♠K♥
Meyer was ahead with his kings and needed to dodge Safari's flush draw as around 3,500,000 was at stake. He stood up from his seat to await the turn, which came the 4♥. The river was the 5♥, and Meyer slammed the table in celebration.
The stacks were counted down, and Meyer had 1,680,000, while Safari had 1,650,000 and was covered by just 30,000. He was sent to the rail.
