Stephen Nahm raised to 1,800 in early position and Sachin Joshi called on the button. Ilya Nikiforov then three-bet to 11,000.

Nahm folded, but Joshi moved all in for 30,000 and Nikiforov snap-called.

Ilya Nikiforov: A♣K♦ All in
Sachin Joshi: 9♦9♥

The 6♥A♠4♥ flop gave Nikiforov a pair of aces and the lead, but Joshi hit the 9♣ on the turn to make a set. The river was the 5♥ and Joshi secured the pot. The stacks were counted down and he barely had Nikiforov covered, sending him to the rail.

"I had sixes. If we played that shit out you probably triple up. I saw the flop and was like, f**k," Nahm told Joshi after the hand.

The board revealed 3♦K♠2♦J♠Q♥ prompting Grafton to jest, "Who's laughing now?"
