Khordbin Quadruples Up, Tomas Snags the Side Pot
Joao Tomas opened the action with a raise to 1,700 from the hijack, which was exactly the amount Hadi Khordbin had left on the button. Khordbin went all in, and both blinds, Khalil Cumsille and Chrysi Phiniotis, called.
After the blinds checked to him on the A♥7♥8♣ flop, Tomas made a continuation bet of 2,500, and both Cumsille and Phiniotis called.
On the K♠ turn, Cumsille checked, and this time Phiniotis led out with a bet of 2,500, again drawing calls from both players.
The A♣ river prompted Phiniotis to fire a hefty 8,500 bet. Tomas took his time before shoving all in, forcing both Phiniotis and Cumsille to fold. With Khordbin all-in, it went to showdown. Tomas revealed K♣Q♦ for a pair of kings, but Khordbin had A♦6♦ for trip aces, scooping the main pot. Tomas, however, claimed a solid side pot, leaving some raised eyebrows at the table.
