Fatehi Wheels Out Win
Iran��s Ali Reza Fatehi may have had no joy in the Super High Roller but his Main Event is off to a great start, though this has come at the expense of Russia��s Asker Aloev.
Pre-flop it was Aloev who was the aggressor, opening to 350 from middle position with Fatehi making the call from the button and Troy Quenneville coming along for the ride from the big blind.
The 
flop brought a check from Quenneville and a 1,100-continuation bet from Aloev. Fatehi quickly fired out a raise, throwing out a multicolored handful of chips for a bet of 3,300.
After Quenneville got out of the way Aloev let out a notable sigh but chose to make the call to bring play heads-up to the 
turn.
Aloev checked it over to Fatehi, who fired again, this time for 6,700 and the Russian grudgingly made the call once more.
The 
river missed any potential flush draws and Aloev checked for a second time. Needing no further encouragement Fatehi fired out a pot-sized bet of 15,000, sending Aloev into tank mode and he counted out his stack before electing to call it off.
However, Aloev instantly folds when Fatehi rolled over 
for the flopped wheel and scooped the sizable pot.
