Homan Mohammadi has had a couple of long days since he woke up at 5 AM on Tuesday to fly to Calgary from Vancouver. But that’s not a bad problem to have when the reason for the long days is two final tables with a win.
When he arrived at the hotel yesterday, his room wasn’t ready as he arrived early in the morning, so he wandered the casino for a few hours before jumping into the 6-Max game. About twelve hours later, he was cashing for fifth place and $7k.
Then he did it all again on Wednesday, minus the flight, and with an extra two cards, by taking down the PLO Megastack after more than twelve hours at the table, and an epic two-hour heads-up match with Michael Wo. He and Wo were both on the ropes and on the verge of the win multiple times throughout HU as the action went from 140 big blinds in play to around 60 when it ended.
It wasn’t even close to a passive HU match, but for most of it, the short stack just couldn’t die. In one example, Mohammadi was on his way out in second place when he found trp deuces for a huge double. The final confrontation came when Mohammadi flopped two pair on a jack-high board, and Wo got his short stack in with an overpair of queens. The two pair held, and Mohammadi was sitting with all the chips.
Mohammadi was a ring winner in the High Roller at WSOP-C January this year and, as part of the winning prize, he won a seat to the Tournament of Champions, where he placed 10th. This is his fourth live win, but he has more than $1 million in live poker earnings, including two six-figure scores. This is his first win with four cards, and just his fourth PLO cash on Hendon Mob.
