Alex Alashkar Makes Sick Call
From early position, Alex Alashkar raised the pot to 2,550. The hand folded around to a player in the big blind who raised to 9,550 which at the time was more than half of his stack. Alashkar tanked for about a minute and called.
The flop came 
and after almost no thought the big blind player went all in for his remaining 7,000. Alashkar snap called and flipped over 
. The big blind said, "Wow, sick call" and turned over 
After the 
came on the turn, the players were set to split the pot and Alashkar confidently boasted about his read saying, ��I knew you��d make a move on the flop, I just had a hunch.��
The river came an inconsequential 
and the players split the pot and moved on.
Alashkar is sitting middle of the pack with about 30,000.
