Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Four players built a pot of around 50,000 as they went to a flop of 9♣4♠6♠. Antonino Venneri then moved all in for 145,000 in the small blind.
Stephane Gabarre folded in early position, while Youssef Habib reshoved in the hijack. Zaid Al-Khashab got out of the way from the button, leaving Venneri and Habib heads-up.
Antonino Venneri: K♣K♦ 
Youssef Habib: A♠J♠
Venneri was ahead with his kings, while Habib was on the nut flush draw. Habib didn't have to wait long to hit his draw, as the Q♠ fell on the turn to leave Venneri drawing dead. The river was the 2♦ and Habib took down the big pot to send Venneri to the rail.
