It Only Takes One Pair to Get to Four Million
Level 29
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
On a board reading 
, with about 1,500,000 in the pot already, Amin Akhlagi checked from the hijack to Jason Garofalo in the cutoff.
Garofalo thought for a moment and bet 500,000. Akhlagi thought for about a minute and eventually decided to call.
Maurice Sussem piped up and said, "Good call." Garofalo nodded his head and said, "Yeah. Good call" as he tabled 
for king high. Akhlagi showed 
for a pair of eights and raked in the pot.
The entire table talked about the hand for the next several minutes.
