Gevork Kasabyan raises from the small blind to 38,000, and Conoor Allisen calls from the big blind. The flop comes [8s6c5c], Kasabyan bets 65,000, Allisen moves all in for about 400,000, and Kasabyan asks for a count, saying, "I have a very big hand."
It takes a while to count the chips, and when they’re almost finished, Kasabyan says he calls and turns over [5d5s] — bottom set. Several players express surprise that it took Kasabyan so long to call with such a strong hand.
Allisen shows [7s6d] for a pair of sixes with an open-ended straight draw, and he’ll need to improve to stay alive.
The turn is the [Kd], the river is the [Ah], and Gevork Kasabyan wins the pot with his set of fives to eliminate Allisen.
Gevork Kasabyan – 1,500,000
Conoor Allisen – Out in 15th Place ($60,077)
