Huge Pot Moves Amini Back Up
After Amir Amini had dropped a little to around 1,500,000 from his peak of 2,200,000, he got right back up the leaderboard from a duel against Travis Pearson.
On a flop of 
, Pearson had made it 60,000 from the button and Amini made it 191,000. They quickly got the rest of Pearson's chips in, totally around 900,000.
Pearson's cards weren't seen by PokerNews, but the table assured the reporter that Pearson had the nut flush draw.
It didn't go well for Pearson though, as Amini tabled 
and the turn brought the 
giving Amini quads. The insignificant 
came in on the river and busted Pearson.
In the next hand, it folded to Amini in the small blind. Whilst he was still gathering and setting down chips, the big blind Jay Harwood convinced him to limp call without looking, which he obliged. Harwood then potted it and Amini called.
The flop 
drew a continuation bet from Harwood of 60,000, which Amini had check-called.
On a 
turn, the action went check-check bringing in a 
river. Amini then lead for 205,000 and after Harwood went into the tank for a minute or two, let his hand go to award another pot to Amini.
