Aghaie On the Wrong Side of Ultimate Cooler
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Armin Aghaie had opened from the hijack and got into a preflop raising war with Ivan Fedor, who was in the big blind. The result was Fedor being all-in for around 1,570,000, with the winner set to scoop a pot worth north of three million.
Ivan Fedor: A♠A♦ 
Armin Aghaie: K♠K♦
Fedor was in fantastic shape to leap way up the counts. while Aghaie was in danger of plummeting to the bottom. A flop of J♥3♠A♣ all but sealed the deal as Fedor made top set. No miracle occurred for Aghaie as the 9♣9♠ runout meant he had to fork over the majority of his stack.
