All of the money got in the middle between two players, creating a pot of over 800,000. Nick Ahmadi on the button had his opponent in late position covered, and when they turned over their holdings, Ahmadi was behind.
Late Position:
Nick Ahmadi:
The flop was just what Ahmadi wanted, and the player with kings stood up the moment he saw the ace in window. Ahmadi hardly moved in his seat, and continued to enjoy the turn of making his top pair, two pair.
The player at risk needed a king, but wouldn't find it on the river. Ahmadi's opponent was sent to the payout desk, and he had to use both hands to rake in one of the biggest pots of Day 1C.
