"Call and Pray" For Ghashayar Against Nahm

Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With around 500,000 in the pot on a board of 5?6?A?3?, Iman Ghashayar bet 280,000 from the big blind before Stephen Nahm moved all in from the small blind. Ghashayar tanked for a few minutes and eventually called for his last 1,450,000.
Nahm showed A?8? for a pair of aces, but Ghashayar was ahead with A?K?. The river was the 3? and Ghashayar doubled up.
"Not an easy call," a tablemate told him after the hand.
"Call and pray," Ghashayar replied.
