Zwaine Puts the Hurt on Attenborough

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

A huge hand went down between John Zwaine and Adrian Attenborough that has seen the latter's chances of winning some jewellery diminish considerably.

It was Huss Hassan the man initially driving the action with a raise to 175,000 from middle position, with Adrian Attenborough making the call from the cutoff before John Zwaine three-bet to 425,000 from the button. Both Hassan and Attenborough made the call to take play three-way to a flop of {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{k-Spades}.

Hassan and Attenborough both checked it over to Zwaine, who cut out a bet of 575,000 with Attenborough the only caller.

The {7-Spades} turn brought a 600,000 bet from Attenborough and Zwaine quickly announced 'all-in' with Attenborough calling just as quickly.

Adrian Attenborough: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}
John Zwaine: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

That was probably the worst turn card for Attenborough who found himself drawing dead with the nut flush against Zwaine's turned full house. The river was a meaningless {8-Diamonds} and Zwaine scooped the monster pot and went to celebrate with his watching rail.

Attenborough stoically cut out the chips to pay off Zwaine and dropped to 580,000 after the hand, while Zwaine is now up there with the chip leaders on 6.1 million.
