The "I" in Team

They may both be part of Team PokerStars, but that didn't stop Jeffrey Hakim and Cero Zuccarello from going to war on Blue #12. Hakim raised in middle position to 525, only to see Zuccarello pop him from the cutoff to 1,825. Hakim called, then opened the betting for 2,200 on a flop of {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. Zuccarello called.

Both players checked the {K-Hearts} turn. When the board paired with the {7-Spades} on the river, Hakim bet 5,125. Zuccarello tanked and then called. He mucked his hand when Hakim showed him {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}.

Zuccarello is down to 13,500 chips, while Hakim jumps to over 36,000.
