Mamad Arani (7th: $2,025) |
A ridiculous hand played out 7-handed between two of the big stacks at the table. We catch up to the action as there was raise, re-raise, and dual all-ins pre-flop, between Matthew Weber and Mamad Arani, with ~160,000 effective stacks.
Arani: [As][Ad]
Weber: [Ks][Kd]
The flop came: [Qh][9s][3s]. The turn came a [Td]. The river was the biggest cooler of the tournament, hence the "Breakout hand," as it rained on Mamad's parade with a [Jc]! This gave Matthew a runner-runner King high straight! Arani was cut down from top 3 in chips to about 10 big blinds.
Arani was then finished in 7th as he put his remaining stack into the middle and was called by Sunny Gandham who had Mamad covered.
Arani: [As][2d]
Gandham: [Kc][Qs]
The board ran out: [Ks][Js][Jc][2c][Kd], and Mamad Arani is the Iron-Man 7th place finisher for $2,025, beating out 81 other "Iron-Men" participants!
