Hafiz Khan is all in from the cutoff with [KsJs] against the [AhJh]. The flop comes [AsQs10s], and the table cheers as Khan flops a royal flush to clinch the pot. A crowd quickly gathers to witness the best possible hand in poker.
Amazingly, the turn card is the [9s], giving Khan an extremely rare six-card straight flush. A few players chant for the eight of spades, but the river card is the [7d].
And that’s how Hafiz Khan doubled up through Season IV WPT World Champion Joe Bartholdi.
Hafiz Khan – 250,000
Joe Bartholdi – 320,000
