Khan Scores Big Double Up
Suhail Khan found himself involved in a huge hand shortly before the dinner break.
A player in middle position raised before the flop and Khan called in the small blind after the button folded. The big blind also folded.
The flop saw 8♥6♣7♦. Khan checked and his opponent bet 25,000, which was met by Khan check-raising to 65,000. His opponent briefly studied the board before making the call.
The 6♠ appeared on the turn to pair the board, and Khan moved all in for his remaining 142,500 chips. His opponent went in the tank for at least a minute, and then asked for a count. Upon hearing the amount, Khan’s opponent once again went in the tank while studying the board. Khan’s opponent, who had Khan covered, eventually made the call.
Khan: A♦8♦
Opponent: 10♥7♥
Khan had top pair, top kicker, while his opponent had middle pair and gut-shot straight draw.
The river was a blank, giving Khan the big pot.
