Al-Hadwan Flops Three Hearts
Level 10
: 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Phil Gioia opened to 4,500 on the button and Samir Al-Hadwan called on the button. The big blind then three-bet to 16,000, telling Gioia he started the hand with 56,000 when Gioia looked over to him. Gioia then found a fold and Al-Hadwan called behind, bringing the flop 
. The big blind then threw out a continuation-bet with Al-Hadwan immediately announcing he was all in and receiving a call just as quickly.
Big Blind: 
Samir Al-Hadwan: 
Al-Hadwan had flopped the second nuts and needed only to fade running full house outs, which he did with ease as bricks ensued to complete the runout.
