Muhammad Khalil opened to 90,000 from the Hi-jack. Benjamin Liu defended his Big Blind.
First to act, Liu checked the 10♦2♦J♣ flop, and Khalil continued for 100,000. After perhaps 20 seconds’ worth of consideration, Liu completed a check-raise to 280,000. Within a split-second, Khalil announced he was all-in for 980,000. Both players then rose from their chairs, staring at the board with gazes that could pierce the most solid diamond. “I can’t come tomorrow, that’s why I go all in,” Khalil joked, as Lie kept contemplating his decision. Eventually, he let his hand go.
“I show if you show,” Khalil offered his opponent. “Okay,” Liu responded.
Muhammad Khalil: A♥K♦
Benjamin Liu: 8♦7♦
“Fudge!” Liu roared as he saw what he was up against. He then congratulated Khalil on the somewhat bald move, as Khalil was stacking his newly won chips.
This poker.pro live reporter became intrigued, and felt an urge to run the hand in a Poker Odds Calculator. 8♦7♦ has 53,43 % in the scenario.
Muhammad Khalil: 1,500,000
