WPT Champions Club member Amir Babakhani (pictured) raises from the cutoff to 20,000, Scott McMorran reraises from the small blind to 65,000, and Babakhani calls. The flop comes Club 8Heart 5Heart 2, McMorran bets 50,000, Babakhani moves all in for 190,000, and McMorran snap-calls with Heart KDiamond K.

Babakhani turns over Diamond QDiamond 8 for a pair of eights, and he needs to improve to stay alive.

The turn card is the Heart 10, the river card is the Heart 6, and the pocket kings hold up for McMorran to win the pot and eliminate Babakhani from the tournament.
