Khalifa Trusts His Read
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Around 15,000 was in the pot in a blind versus blind battle and the flop showing Q?6?8?. Jonathan Khalifa then led out for 7,200 and Daniele Sacchi raised to 17,200.
"You don't have queens for sure. I don't put you on eights or sixes," Khalifa said before moving all in. Sacchi quickly called for around 40,000.
Daniele Sacchi: A?Q? 
Jonathan Khalifa: K?K?
"Ace-queen? That's exactly the hand I put you on," Khalifa said. The board ran out 4?4? and Sacchi couldn't improve against Khalifa's kings and was sent to the rail.
"Can I have a big hand, too? Or does it only work for you?" a tablemate joked with the suddenly big-stacked Khalifa after the hand.
