Heart-Stopping Hand for Haabak

Tommy Vedes raised to 165,000 from late position, then Jesse Haabak pushed all in for a total of 1.386 million from the button. The blinds folded, and Vedes called.

Haabak showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and Vedes {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. The flop was {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. The turn then brought the {3-Hearts}, and extra added tension for Haabak -- he now had to fade a heart to survive.

The river came the {2-Clubs}, and Haabak is still in with his stack of a little over 1.4 million. Vedes is just under 10 million right now.
