Khordbin Wins a Monster Heading to Break

Level 6
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The rest of the field had already left on break while Hadi Khordbin and Jing Wang found themselves tangled in a massive pot.
According to tablemate Hakan Pamukcu, Khordbin had raised before the flop from under the gun and received three callers. He continuation bet the Q?K?8? flop and Wang called on the button.
The turn was the 2? and Wang bet 40,000. Khordbin then moved all in for 267,000 and Wang tanked for several minutes into the break before calling with Q?8? for two pair.
Khordbin, though, had 8?8? for a set and held on the 3? river to earn the double up.
