Dja Daouadji Takes Out Hand

Fintan Hand opened to 3,000 from the hijack and Belmehel Dja Daouadji three-bet to 9,000. Hand made the call.

The flop came 5♦4♦3♣. Dja Daouadji checked and Hand bet 6,500.

"Not enough" Dja Daouadji joked as he put in a check-raise to 20,000. Hand responded by moving all for approximately 50,000. Dja Daouadji quickly made the call to put Hand at risk.

"Let's flip" Hand told his opponent, who he had been having a friendly banter with for the last several minutes, as the cards were tabled.

Fintan Hand: 6♠5♣
Belmehel Dja Daouadji: 3♥3♦

"That's not a fair flip!" Hand joked upon seeing Dja Daouadji had flopped bottom set. Hand still had outs to a straight but they did not materalize on the 8♥ turn or J♦ river, resulting in his elimination while Dja Daouadji took down a major pot.
