"It Was Push or Fold," Says Zihni

Ali Zihni raised to 475,000 in the cutoff and it folded round to big blind Mansour Alipourfard, who made it 1,600,000 to go. Zihni regarded Alipourfard's remaining stack, confirmed it was arranged in mini stacks of ten chips totalling around 3,200,000, and considered his options. He ended up folding his hand.
"It was shove or fold," said Zihni.
"You have to shove," said Alipourfard, not strictly accurately.
"I wasn't sure which to do so I passed," admitted Zihni.
