Han to Han Combat

Level 6 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Shin Han
Shin Han

Andy Lam limped in the pot, as did Shin Han, but Eric Natishvili decided to raise it up from the small blind and he made it 160,000 to go.

Both limpers flatted and the flop fell {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Natishvili then led out for a bet of 215,000 and Lam folded, leaving Shin to move all in for 580,000 total.

Natishvili asked for a count and then went deep into the tank, thinking things through for at least two minutes before finally making the call.

Showdown:

Han: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Natishvili: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Natishvili went with his read and called with just a pair of tens, but he was badly behind Han's flopped set of eights.

The turn came {7-Spades} to give Han a full house, and Natishvili was drawing to the deck's two remaining tens.

River: {3-Hearts}

Han's rail exploded in a raucous celebration at the sight of a brick on the river, and Han scored a huge double up through Natishvili to push above 1.5 million in chips.
