Eli Kiwan

Eli Kiwan put all his chips in the middle with a four-bet ship for 407,000 from early position and Wagner Wysotchanki had him at risk from the big blind.

Kiwan: AhAc
Wysotchnaski: 8c8h

Kiwan was way ahead with his aces but found a small sweat on the 9h7s5h flop. The turn was 5c and Kiwan began gathering his belongings before the 2h river.

Then it occurred to Kiwan that he won the hand and sat back down.

“I swear I thought the turn was a six for his straight,” Kiwan laughed with the table.

Eli Kiwan – 829,000 (83 bb)
Wagner Wysotchanski – 880,000 (88 bb)
