Irfan Khairi

Irfan Khairi began heads-up play with Austin Reilly looking to double back into contention. That chance came early.

With the board reading Ah6h6sJc, Reilly checked and Khairi bet 275,000. Reilly raised to 550,000 and Khairi called after a short think.

The river came Ts and Reilly announced all in. Khairi called  for 1,895,000 and showed JdJs for the turned full house. Reilly showed 6c4s for flopped trip sixes, not good enough to prevent him sending the lead across the table.

Irfan Khairi – 5,375,000 (67 bb)
Austin Reilly – 1,325,000 (17 bb)

Soon after, Reilly had his stack in the middle and Khairi had a chance to lock up the title.

Khairi: Kd9c
Reilly: QsJc

Reilly was live but Khairi smashed the 9s9c7h flop for trip nines. The Kc turn and 7d river completed the board and we had our first 2020 WPO champion.

Congrats to Irfan on his first career win and thanks to everyone who came out today.
