Three players went to a flop of [8c][6d][2d], and the initial raiser, James Sander, fired for 600,000. Both Esa Homayun and the big blind came along, and the [10d] hit the turn. It checked to Sander again, who moved all in with a covering stack. Homayun didn’t take long to call all in, and the big blind took less time in folding.
Sander: [Kc][Kd]
Homayun: [6s][6h]
The former Mega Millions champion had spiked a set on the flop, and only needed to avoid the same happening to him on the river, which he did with the [Ad]. Suddenly, Homayun has vaulted into the chip lead, as we are down to just a dozen players.
