Mirrasouli Makes an Early Jump Up the Counts
Level 40
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Christopher Battenfield min-raised to 4,000,000 from middle position and Amir Mirrasouli called from the hijack.
On the 9?10?5? flop, Battenfield took his time before making a bet of 4,500,000. Mirrasouli responded by instantly shoving for 20,700,000 and Battenfield quickly called.
Amir Mirrasouli: 8?7? 
Christopher Battenfield: K?10?
A huge flop for Mirrasouli and he did improve on the 8? turn, but still trailed the top pair of Battenfield.
Everything changed on the J? river, as Mirrasouli completed his straight which saw him take down the first notable pot of the day.
