Interview With Hevad “Rain” Khan: 6th Place Finisher
2 years ago
Here is PokerListings.com's little chat with RaiNkHan - the (sort of) infamous multi-table sit-n-go player.
Interview With Hevad “Rain” Khan: 6th Place Finisher
So why don’t you tell me what’s going on – you just won a lot of money!
I’m ecstatic. All my friends are with me, I gave it my best shot. You know, I played it the best I could – they’re all great people. They’re giving their hardest too, it’s not like I’m the only one here. Every single one of them gave their heart and soul.
I did my best to adapt and I’m glad for my finish. I could have gotten seventh, could have gotten eighth, could have gotten ninth, but I got sixth, you know? I deserve more than - I mean, I got more than I deserve.
Did you play the same way today than you do when you play, say, 26, 46 sit-n-gos?
Absolutely. Well, those I play a little bit tighter cause I don’t have enough time to really spread out my decisions. But, I was able to play just as well as I did three months ago when I started playing tournaments professionally online.
So I’m ecstatic, I’m thrilled, I’m just happy I was able to give it my full shot.
So tell me about the hand you went out on.
Um, I’m pretty sure I was ahead of Jerry’s range. And he put out so much pre-flop that I had to get it in. You know, if I just called there was so much in the pot. It would have been a losing play if I just called. I’d rather push him off the hand and increase my stack by like, 30% and if he calls anyway it’s a raise.
But he will fold to a certain amount that’s higher. I really thought about it. But I would do that move over and over again. It’s just textbook to me, you know? That’s just the textbook way to go at it. I’m glad I was able to take it well and I’m glad that he’s doing well. And I’m proud of him. And I hope he gets it, for his family. And now he stands a really good chance of winning it.
What are you gonna do with the money?
Uh, I have no idea. First figure out how I’m gonna handle the tax and stuff. I now have the money to do what I wanna do in life. I have a passion for poker. I’ll see where it takes me the next couple of years.
Well thank you so much, and congratulations on your win.
Thank you.

Kalmar Kracken'd
2 years ago
Raymond Rahme opens for $2.7 million from under the gun and sees Jon Kalmar move over the top all-in for about $10,490,000. After some serious thought Rahme makes the call and turns up pocket jacks to Kalmar's A
K
, meaning Kalmar is racing for his tournament life with Big Slick.
The flop comes 10
9 6 and Rahme retains the advantage. The turn card is a 3 and the audience calls out encouragement to both players as they await the river. The river card is the 3 and Rahme's jacks hold up, sending Jon Kalmar to the rail in fifth place!
Kalmar takes home $1,255,069 for his accomplishment, while the rest of the table is now guaranteed at least $1.85 million for landing in the tournament's final four.
