Four men intently playing poker at a table with stacks of chips and cards.

Elmer Kalaquian

On a flop of 8 ♠️ 5 ♦️ 2 ♠️ with 155,000 weighing down the middle of the felt, Elmer Kalaquian bet 100,000 out of the small blind position then went tanking for some time after under the gun player Geochoon Park shoved for 282,000. 

After burning through two time-banks, Kalaquian slid out the call and turned over 9 ♠️ 9 ♦️ overpair. Park had better, showing K ♥️ K ♣️.

The turn 8 ♥️ and river J ♦️ were safe for Park to ship it in.
