Amir Khaziri Jumps Into Contention For the Chip Lead

After doubling thru WPT Champions Club member Randal Flowers in a more than 170,000-chip pot, Amir Khaziri is now one of the big stacks to keep an eye on in the waning minutes of Day 1A play.

Flowers and Khaziri got in a preflop raising war that resulted in Flowers shoving all-in with pocket jacks and Khaziri calling with pocket aces.  The board ran out [6c4d2hQsKs] and the aces held to send Khaziri up the counts. 

Amir Khaziri – 172,000
Randal Flowers – 20,000
