: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action folded to a player in the cutoff, who raised all in for 9,400. Then when it folded to the small blind Hamid Sepehri, he three-bet all in, and the big blind quickly folded leaving the two players heads up.
Cutoff: A?3?
Hamid Sepehri: A?K?
Hamid has his opponent dominated, but after the 5?9?K? flop, Hamid had to fade a diamond to knock out his opponent. However the Q? turn and 5? river were safe ones, and Hamid secured the knockout.
